'Shuttlecock genius' Ahn Se-young (21-Samsung Life) has written another record in the history of Korean badminton.

The world No. 1 defeated Carolina Marin (30-Spain, No. 6) 2-0 (21-12, 21-10) in the women's singles final of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Championships 2023 in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Sunday. This is the first time a Korean badminton player has reached the top of the World Championships singles podium since the event's inception in 1977. It is also the first time in 30 years that Korea has reached the women's singles final at the World Championships since Hwang Soo-hyun (51), who finished runner-up in 1993.

Prior to this event, South Korea had won 10 World Championship doubles titles (men's, women's and mixed doubles), but had never won a singles title for either men or women. Park Sung-woo's runner-up finish in 1995 was the best men's singles result.

Ahn Se-young wins women's singles title, also tops mixed doubles Ahn Se-young entered the Badminton World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Sunday as the world's No. 1 player and won the first singles gold medal in Korean badminton history. 온라인카지노 The South Korean team of Seo Seung-jae and Chae Yoo-jung also won gold in the mixed doubles event for the first time in 20 years.

Ahn never gave Marin a lead on the day, wrapping up the match in 42 minutes. In the second set, she never gave up a point after being tied at 10-10, scoring the next 11 points in a dominant performance. Marin, a gold medalist at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, is a three-time World Championship veteran (2014, 2015, 2018). Marin is the first player from outside of Asia to win an Olympic women's singles title. Ahn, who has won five straight head-to-head matches against Marin, also holds a 6-4 head-to-head advantage. After a roaring championship ceremony with both fists pumped in the air, Ahn said, "I just enjoy it and everything seems to work out. I can only think that I had a great time," Ahn said of her victory.

Ahn Se-young, who is making history in Korean badminton, first came to prominence in 2017 when she beat her older sisters from the unemployed team at the national trials while still in junior high school. She tasted the bitter taste of first-round elimination at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games as a high school freshman, but the following year, in 2019, she became the first Korean to win the BWF Rookie of the Year award. Ahn also became the first South Korean player to be ranked No. 1 in women's singles in 27 years. Ahn knocked Akane Yamaguchi (JPN), who was ranked No. 1 last month, down to No. 2.

With her victory, Ahn proved once again that she is unbeatable, having reached the final of 11 of the 12 tournaments she has played this year, finishing on top eight times. In the four events she did not win, she finished runner-up three times and third once. In March of this year, Ahn took first place at the All-England Open, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world, the first time she had won the title in 27 years since Hwang Soo-hyun in 1996.
