Korea’s Women’s Badminton Team Advances to Uber Cup Semifinals as Star Player Se-young Ahn Battles Injury Concerns

【 Anchor Comment 】
The women’s national team, which is trying to win the Uber Cup for the second consecutive time in the badminton world team competition, successfully advanced to the semifinals.
However, it is a cause for concern that star Se-young Ahn is suffering from poor physical condition.
With less than three months left until the Paris Olympics, I think we need to be most careful about injuries more than anything else.

Ahn Se-young, who showed off her status as the world’s No. 1 by inducing a mistake and finishing the attack with a powerful smash, won the first set cleanly.

In the second set, a heart-wrenching scene occurred when the team widened the score with their unique defensive ability and were on the verge of victory.

Ahn Se-young, who scored after exchanging 39 rallies, collapsed on the court and was unable to get up for a while.

Fortunately, he got back up and won, but he had to take a break immediately before being able to participate in the interview that the players participate in after the game.

Although it did not result in an injury, there were still aftereffects from the knee and thigh injuries, so managing my condition became an urgent task ahead of the Olympics, which were about two months away.

Meanwhile, the national team, which won 2-0, including Ahn Se-young, Lee So-hee and Baek Ha-na in doubles, and Shim Yu-jin, the star of the championship two years ago, defeated Chinese Taipei and advanced to the semifinals.
