The Korean women’s badminton team has written new history. This is the “first time in history” that the Asian Men’s and Women’s Team Championships have won the championship. Women’s badminton, which had suffered two setbacks in the finals, finally won the championship after the third challenge. An Se-영 (24 years old, Samsung Life), who has won many competitions but failed to win this competition, has also filled in precious puzzle pieces in his career.
The women’s badminton team led by coach Park Joo-bong defeated the host China team 3-0 in the women’s final held at Kangson Stadium in Qingdao, China on the 8th (Korean time) and won the championship. The competition was conducted in a 3-win system of 5 singles, doubles, singles, doubles and singles. The South Korean team’s first 2 singles games and 1 doubles game both ended early.
Well done to overcome the burden of facing the hosts. On the field that day, the local fans cheered for the Chinese team very loudly, but the Korean team did not waver at all and the game went very smoothly. An Se-young, who started the match, defeated Han Qianshi (ranked 38th in the world) 2-0 (21-7, 21-14) in 39 minutes. The combination of Baek Ha-na (Incheon International Airport) and Kim Hye-jung (Samsung Life) also defeated the Chinese combination of Jia Aifan and Zhang Xiuxian 2-0 (24-22, 21-8). Kim Ga-eun (Samsung Life), who participated in the singles match, came back to win 2-1 (19-21, 21-10, 21-17) and defeated Xu Wenjing.
After Kim Ga-eun won the “championship points”, An Shiji and other team players entered the stadium holding the Taegeuk flag and enjoyed the joy of winning the championship for the first time. In the previous 2020 finals and 2022 competition, he lost to the Japanese team and the Indonesian team respectively, and could only watch the victory celebration. However, in this competition, he showed a bright smile and painted a new brush in the history of badminton.
Although he has won many championships, “The World’s Strongest” An Shi영, who had no chance of winning the competition, also showed a bright smile and enjoyed his first championship in the competition. Just as she is ranked No. 1 in the world in women’s singles, An Se has shown her “unmatched” strength. Facing the world’s second-ranked Chinese player Wang Zhiyi, she achieved 8 consecutive victories. It’s just that the team championship is a competition that cannot be won by oneself. Not only An Shi영, but the results of other players are also important. This is also the reason why this competition will become a “fly in the ointment” of Anshi’s career in the future if he is not careful.
An Se 영은 served as a pioneer in the second round of the competition group stage against Taiwan, the quarterfinals against Malaysia, and the day’s final against China, completing the special task of “preemptive strike”. In the three games he played, he finished the game in less than 40 minutes and made his mark. And fortunately, An Shiying’s lonely battle is not over. After Ahn Seok-soo took the lead, the united Korean team attacked the opponent without any scruples. Lee So-hee (Incheon International Airport), who formed a “temporary” doubles team when Lee So-hee (Incheon International Airport) was injured during the competition, and other players such as the combination of Kim Hye-jung and Baek Ha-na, also showed their ability without wavering. Thanks to this, the Korean team only lost one game among the top 4 in the knockout round, defeated its opponents 3-0 in the top 8 and finals, and ended the game with a perfect championship.
Thanks to this, An Se has filled in the vacant Asian Team Championship title in his already extremely gorgeous career, further consolidating his status as the true “GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)”. Not only Ahn Se-young, but other players such as Kim Ga-eun, Kim Hye-jung, Kim Min-ji, Lee Yeon-woo (above Samsung Life), Park Ga-eun (Gimcheon City Hall), Kong Hee-yong (Jeonbuk Bank), Lee Seo-jin (Incheon International Airport) who participated in this competition have also left a deep name in the history of Korean and even Asian badminton. Previously, the women’s team that won the right to participate in the World Women’s Championship in April will move to a broader stage as the Asian champions.
