She has dominated the world badminton scene since the beginning of the new year. Ahn Se-young (24, Samsung Life Insurance), who returned home after winning the Indian Open, shook off her injury and revealed the secret to winning an overwhelming championship.
Ahn returned home via Incheon International Airport on the 19th after winning the Women's Singles at the World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 750 Indian Open in New Delhi, India. He won the Malaysian Open last week and the Indian Open, setting a new record of winning two consecutive tournaments in the new year and winning six consecutive championships, including last season.
Ahn Se-young, who met at the arrival hall, said with a bright expression, "I went to the game as soon as the new year started, and I'm so happy to come back with a good result."
The process was not smooth. Ahn Se-young, who complained of thigh pain in the final of the World Tour Finals in December last year, started her new year's schedule without proper rest. In the first match of the Malaysian Open on the 6th, he showed physical difficulty in a bloody battle with Michelle Lee of Canada.
Regarding the situation at the time, Ahn Se-young said, "I felt a little tired during the Malaysian Open. "I had difficulty playing," he said. "I had cramps during the Final last year. I didn't play in a complete recovery, but I think there was a problem with my left leg. I was a little heavy and worried that I might get cramps," he confessed.
The secret to overcoming the crisis was rest. Ahn Se-young said, "Originally, while preparing for the competition, I didn't lose muscle strength through weight training. However, this time, he focused on recovery in a way that completely rested after the game. "Thanks to this, I recovered well and I was able to play better at the Indian Open," he explained.
The fast and aggressive play shown in this competition was also a choice for physical fitness. Some analyzed that it was a change in preparation for the introduction of the 15-point system. In response, Ahn Se-young drew the line, saying, "I'm not thinking too much about the 15-point system."
In addition, Ahn Se-young said, "I felt physically pushed, so I wanted to finish it as soon as possible. It worked well this time, he said, adding, "It was an opportunity to learn to make plays while adjusting according to my physical condition."
The goal for the season is clear. Ahn Se-young, who recorded an unprecedented record of winning 11 tournaments last year, said, "There are many big matches this year as well. "I want to bring good results without missing anything," he said. "As I am most worried about injuries, I want to finish all games well without withdrawing."
Regarding the 21-0 victory goal mentioned in the past, he said, "It's for motivation," and laughed, "It's going to be a little difficult to do that in badminton." But if I keep preparing and perfecting it with that goal, I think it will be a good practice in bringing results," he said.
He also did not forget his respect for the world's second-ranked Wang Zhi (China), who faced off in the final. Ahn Se-young said, "When I play against Wang Zi, I always think I thought a lot about it. Always do your bestI want to say thank you so much," he said. "I will also try harder not to lose. If he tries to beat me, I think he'll play better," he said.
As for the dinner appointment that drew attention, "I haven't eaten yet. I haven't been able to buy it yet because I rarely meet him in India."
He cited the attitude of not giving up as the secret to becoming the best in the world. Ahn Se-young said, "When I face a good player, I often feel a sense of loss because my confidence decreases or my play does not come out. Rather, it is important to have the confidence to use it as a good practice and continue to challenge and show the play I want to play," he said.
He also expressed his thoughts on his new uniform and ceremony. Regarding the national team uniform, which will be changed next month, he said, "I think I will continue to wear one-piece dresses unless there is a significant change. I believe it will come out pretty, he said. "These days, I don't prepare a ceremony in advance, but I'm only doing what I can do on the spot."
Commentator Ha Tae-kwon's praise for the best player of all time said, "I'm a little weak in compliments, but thank you so much. I'm so honored and proud to be praised by Legend," he said with a shy smile.
Finally, Ahn Se-young vowed not to stop for the upcoming Asian Games in September. Ahn Se-young said, "You have to do your best in every game to get good results. I will do my best in every game. Then I think we can bring good results in the Asian Games and the World Championships," he said with emphasis.
