Ahn Se-young Wins First Single + Korea's First 'Triple Gold Medal'
Five events, five awards ceremonies. The national anthem rang out three times. The 10,000-won audience of the traditional badminton powerhouse also gave "Wonderful Korea" and a standing ovation. This is a view at the Royal Arena, a badminton holy place in Copenhagen, Denmark, on the 27th (local time). It was the scene where the Korean shuttlecock made a new history.
South Korean badminton has achieved a historic feat at the 2023 World Individual Badminton Championships. It has not only made phenomenal achievements but also poured new records into badminton history. South Korea won three gold medals and one bronze medal in the event. The main characters are Ahn Se-young (21, Samsung Life), men's doubles Seo Seung-jae (26)-Kang Min-hyuk (24, Samsung Life), mixed doubles Seo Seung-jae-Chae Yoo-jung (28, Incheon International Airport, gold medal), Kim So-young (31, Incheon International Airport), and Gong Hee-yong (27, Jeonbuk Bank, bronze medal).
It is the first time in history that Korean badminton has achieved "the top spot in all events to advance to the finals" at the world championships, which began in 1977 and marks its 28th anniversary, and three gold medals are also the best ever (two gold medals). It is also the first time in eight years that a certain country has recorded three gold medals at the world championships since 2015 (China). In the past, China and Indonesia, the "absolute two powers," had a "gold sweep" without boredom, but "more than three golds from a single country" were rare records as the growth of dark horse Japan made power leveled. The World Individual Championship is a competition where the top rankers in five sports are limited in entry (up to two < groups>, and is recognized as an authority similar to the Olympics. 토토사이트
In this top-rated competition, Korea not only recorded the entire history of badminton, but also each player made meaningful records. First of all, the record march of Ahn Se-young, the world's No. 1 player in women's singles, and South Korea's leading ace, is amazing. Ahn Se-young became the first world championship champion in Korean singles as she defeated Karolina Marin (Spain, world No. 6) at the Rio Olympics 2-0. After Bang Soo-hyun on the 1st, he seemed to be ranked No. 1 in the World Badminton Federation (BWF) rankings for the first time in 27 years, but in less than a month, he surpassed the previous best runner-up (Bang Soo-hyun in women's singles in 1993 and Park Sung-woo in men's singles in 1995. Moreover, he proved the power of the "top ranker" to the world by quickly reaching the top of the tournament, his first competition since he became the world's No. 1. In the meantime, Korean badminton has the image of a "double-dish powerhouse," making Ahn Se-young's achievement even more valuable.
Seo Seung-jae, who showed two gold medals in men's and mixed doubles, also paid attention to BWF. On the 28th (Korea time), BWF said on its website news, "The world's No. 1 Ahn Se-young's victory was somewhat predicted, but Seo Seung-jae is surprising given the recent trend that it has become difficult to achieve results due to overlapping participation."
Of course, Seo Seung-jae won two gold medals in 24 years since Kim Dong-moon (men + mixed doubles) in 1999. Earlier, it was "world-class legend" Park Joo-bong, head coach of the Japanese national team (twice in 1985 and 1991) who won two gold medals. In other words, the two gold medals in the history of the world championships have added to the pride of producing "Korean" for the first time since Zhao Yun-rey (Chinese, women's + mixed doubles) in 2015.
It is the first time in 20 years that Seo Seung-jae has won a mixed doubles title with Chae Yoo-jung since "Legend Couple" Kim Dong-moon and Ra Kyung-min in 2003, and South Korea's sixth mixed doubles gold medal. The men's doubles victory of Seo Seung-jae and Kang Min-hyuk was also the first celebration in nine years since Ko Sung-hyun and Shin Baek-chul in 2014.
Seo Seung-jae's performance, which was finally in full bloom, also brightened the prospects for the Hangzhou Asian Games. An official from the badminton community said, "Korea, where men's doubles was a strategic sport in the past, has been in decline since Lee Yong-dae's retirement. However, Seo Seung-jae's performance this time signaled the revival of male doubles players," he said.
