Seo Seung -jae (27, Samsung Life) and Kim Won -ho (26, Samsung Life), the No. 1 badminton men’s doubles world rankings, which came to the top of the World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Championship, were treated.
The Korean badminton team, led by Park Ju -bong, returned to Incheon International Airport on the 2nd after the World Championships at the Adidas Arena in Paris, France. In this tournament, the Korean national team won one gold and bronze medals. Seo Seung -jae and Kim Won -ho were on the top of the men’s doubles. Ahn Se -young (23, Samsung Life) won a bronze medal.
Seo Seung -jae and Kim Won -ho, who have been active since the team in January this year, have firmly ranked No. 1 in the world by defeating the World Championships. They will continue the ‘golden genealogy’ of Korean men’s doubles that lead to Park Joo -bong, Kim Moon -soo, Kim Dong -moon, Ha Tae -kwon, and Lee Yong -dae and Jung Jae -sung.
Seo Seung -jae said, “I am happy to have a gold medal at the first world championships. I have been confident that I can do better in the future.
Kim Won -ho became Korea’s first hat medalist with a silver medal at the Paris Olympic Mixed Doubles last year. This time, he has been named in the Badminton history as a gold medalist for the mother -to -world championship. Kim Won -ho’s mother is the director of the Badminton Team of Samsung Life Insurance, and has been at the top of the women’s doubles in 1995.
Kim Won -ho smiled, “I am very happy to be able to follow my mother’s footsteps. I will try more to be a proud son.”
Ahn Se -young did not hide his feelings of failure in two consecutive victories. Ahn Se -young, who showed overwhelming performance from the 64th to the quarter -finals, was caught by Cheonsu Pay (China) in the semi -finals. Ahn Se -young explained, “I think I had a lot of strength because I wanted to do better. Next time I believe in myself and produce good results.”
