Badminton Lee So-hee (Incheon International Airport) and Baek Hana (MG Saemaeul Geumgo) reached the top of the 2024 Asian Individual Championships.
World No. 2 Lee So-hee and Baek Ha-na defeated China’s Zhang Shuxian and Zheng Yu (world No. 7) 2-0 (23-21 21-12) in the women’s doubles final of the tournament held in Ningbo, China on the 14th.
It has been 19 years since Lee Kyung-won and Lee Hyo-jung in 2005 that a Korean women’s doubles pair won the championship.
Lee So-hee and Baek Hana, who won the All England Open, the most prestigious badminton competition last month, won gold again in their first international competition since then.
Lee So-hee and Baek Hana seemed to have an easy victory, taking an 18-9 lead in the first set.
However, after conceding 7 consecutive goals, they were only able to make up one point, and after that, they lost four more points and were on the verge of giving up a set point.
Fortunately, Lee So-hee and Baek Hana, who regained their concentration, took the game to a deuce and succeeded in taking the lead by winning two points at 21-21.
After winning a valuable victory after a close battle, the mood of the game shifted towards Lee So-hee and Baek Hana.
Lee So-hee and Baek Hana, who went into the interval with a one-point lead at 11-10 in the second set, scored three in a row and then scored five in a row to get up to 19-11.
And this time, they ended the second set with a 9-point lead without giving them an excuse to chase.
