[배드민턴코리아] In the new year of 2024, the badminton team will face its first fierce battle at the Malaysia Open.
The ‘2024 Malaysia Open Badminton Championships (Super 1000)’, which will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from January 9, is the first competition of 2024 hosted by BWF.
The players, who took a short break after the ‘2023 BWF World Tour Finals’ in mid-December 2023, returned their year-end vacation and started training from December 29th, and are preparing for the first competition of the new year.
The Malaysia Open is a Super 1000 tournament, and the winner will receive 12,700 ranking points.
In particular, the Malaysia Open is an important tournament in terms of morale as it is the first gateway of the year to the Paris Olympics.
In this tournament, male players Seo Seung-jae, Kang Min-hyuk, Kim Won-ho, and Na Seong-seung will participate, and female players Kim So-young, Kong Hee-yong, Lee So-hee, Baek Hana, Kim Hye-jeong, Jeong Na-eun, Shin Seung-chan, Lee Yu-rim, Chae Yu-jeong, and Ahn Se-young will participate.
Although he is a non-national representative, Na Seong-seung (Gimcheon City Hall) earned the opportunity to participate in this tournament by accumulating ranking points. I look forward to their chemistry when they team up with Kim Won-ho.
Ahn Se-young, who has recently focused on recovery, is paying attention to whether she can reexamine her condition through the Malaysia Open and achieve her first win of the 2024 season.
Seo Seung-jae, who recently became a new groom, will challenge for multiple wins in this tournament by teaming up with Kang Min-hyuk in men’s doubles and Chae Yu-jeong in mixed doubles.
The performance of the women’s doubles, in which the largest number of players participate, is also raising expectations.
Meanwhile, the national team will participate in four tournaments in January alone, starting with the Malaysia Open. The India Open (Super 750), Indonesia Masters (Super 500), and Thailand Masters (Super 300) await in January.
