Ahn Se-young returns to the court after completing rehabilitation treatment for her knee injury. Photo = BADMINTON PHOTO ‘Shuttlecock Empress’ Ahn Se-young (21, Samsung Life Insurance) is playing again after dealing with her knee injury.
Ahn Se-young, ranked No. 1 in badminton women’s singles, will compete in the round of 32 of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Kumamoto Masters women’s singles held in Kumamoto, Japan on the 15th, and will face Taiwanese player Pai Yu-po (ranked 27th).
This match is Ahn Se-young’s comeback match. She suffered a knee injury while playing against Chen Yufei (China) in the women’s singles final of the Hangzhou Asian Games (AG) held in Hangzhou, China on the 7th of last month. She continued the game with fighting spirit, and eventually won the gold medal after a close match that lasted three games, sending a shock to sports fans.
Ahn Se-young, who was diagnosed with a ruptured knee tendon after the competition, refrained from external activities. She devoted herself to her rehabilitation treatment, refusing a barrage of offers to appear on TV, be interviewed, and even become an advertising model.
He participated in the AG athlete encouragement event (‘Thank You, Team Korea’) on the 30th of last month and expressed his intention to return, saying, “I plan to participate in the world competition before the end of the year.” That was the Kumamoto Masters.
While Ahn Se-young was undergoing rehabilitation treatment for her injury, her competitor Chen Yu-fei increased her momentum by winning the Danish Open and the French Open. Chen Yufei also participated in this Kumamoto Masters. If Ahn Se-young shows off her skills, they will clash in the semifinals.
