Ahn Se-young said on her social media yesterday (7th), “There is a lot of speculation about the injury,” and “I am under a lot of stress.”
Ahn Se-young, who suffered a right knee injury while facing China’s Chen Yufei in the Hangzhou Asian Games final in October last year, withdrew from the Indian Open quarterfinals in January, complaining of pain in her right thigh.
Ahn Se-young said that contrary to the diagnosis that she could return after 2 to 6 weeks of rehabilitation after the Asian Games, her pain did not decrease.
In the end, he visited another hospital after the BWF World Tour Finals in December last year and was diagnosed with a partial rupture of the patellar tendon that would not improve in a short period of time.
In the end, the challenge was adjusting to the pain. Seyoung Ahn explained, “I am focusing on the Olympics rather than the results of the competition right now and am adjusting to the pain.”

However, at last week’s World Women’s Team Championship (Uber Cup), it was revealed that there was “acute enteritis due to stress” rather than a knee injury.
The women’s national team was eliminated in the semifinals of the Uber Cup on the 4th, failing to win the championship for the second time in a row. The absence of Ahn Se-young, who missed the semifinals due to her injury, was significant.
Ahn Se-young said, “As a player, self-management is important, and I am sorry for showing that I was not able to do so. I am receiving treatment well and exercising hard, so please support and wait for me.”
