(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Im Soon-hyeon = Bronze medalists Kim So-young (Incheon International Airport) and Gong Hee-yong (Jeonbuk Bank) of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics advanced to the semifinals of the world badminton ‘Wangjung King’.
Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong defeated Gracia Poly-Apriyani Rahayu (Indonesia) 2-0 (21 -15 21-18).
Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong, who defeated Pearly Tan and Tina Muralitaran (Malaysia) 2-0 in the first match the day before, secured their place in the quarterfinals regardless of the result of the third game on the 3rd.
Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong, who were unfortunately runners-up in the 2020 World Tour Finals, showed strong performances in the group stage, raising expectations for the first place in the tournament.
The BWF World Tour Final is a tournament that wraps up one season of the international badminton tournament, and only the top 8 players (teams) in each specific event compete to determine the strongest player.
The eight players (teams) in each event are divided into two groups of four (teams) each, and the group stage is held over three rounds. Only two players (teams) from each group advance to the semi-finals.
Ahn Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance), who participated in the women’s singles, lost 1-2 (14-21 21-18 16-21) to their arch-enemy Yamaguchi Akane (Japan) in the second round of Group B Group B. Admission is confirmed.
Ahn Se-young lightly defeated Ongbam Rungpan (Thailand) 2-0 in the first leg, but losing to Yamaguchi in the second leg and her opponent Yeo-min Yeo (Singapore) abstaining from the tournament in the third game made the calculation of the semifinals complicated.
If Busanan wins over Yamaguchi in the 3rd game, all three players will record 2 wins and 1 loss, and the ranking will be determined based on the set win/loss difference and the difference in gain/loss in order. On the other hand, if Yamaguchi wins, they advance to the semi-finals as 2nd place in the group.
