Kim So-young (Incheon International Airport) and Gong Hee-yong (Jeonbuk Bank), ranked third in the women’s doubles world ranking, faced injury ahead of the opening of the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong withdrew from the round of 32 at the World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 1000 China Open held in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China on the 6th.
This is because Kim So-young injured her right calf muscle in field training ahead of the game.
Kim So-young, who returned home immediately, is expected to receive injection treatment while resting for the next week.
After that, we plan to combine training and treatment.
An official from the Korea Badminton Association said on the 7th, “We are judging that it is not a serious injury.
However, the injury could worsen, so he took measures to return home,” he explained, “there is no discussion on changes to the Asian Games entry.”
Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong lead the Korean women’s doubles together with Lee So-hee (Incheon International Airport) and Baek Ha-na (MG Saemaul Geumgo), who are ranked second in the world.
Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong, bronze medalists at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, have won four gold medals in international competitions, including the Jeonyeong Open, the most prestigious event this year.
Last month, at the World Individual Championships, he took third place in the final, succeeding in third in a row in 2021 and runner-up in 2022.
