Ahn Se-young's victory at the All England Open in March, her rise to No. 1 in the world rankings in August, and her gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games in October are all paths taken by Su-hyun Bang 30 years ago.
Bang Bang-hyun is a Korean badminton legend who won gold medals at the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Until Ahn Se-young won the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games, Bang Bang-hyeon was the only Korean singles player to win the Olympics or Asian Games.
Bang Soo-hyun is the last example of women's singles All England Open gold medal and world number one before Ahn Se-young.
Ahn Se-young, just 30 years younger than him, is following the path that Bang Bang-hyun pioneered 30 years ago.
Bang Soo-hyun looked happily at Ahn Se-young, who would one day surpass him.
He lives with his family in Louisiana, USA, and serves as a commentator for international competitions such as the Olympics and Asian Games.
On the 10th, Bang Soo-hyeon said about Ahn Se-young, "Even during the Tokyo Olympics, there were points where I thought, 'I wish this could be fixed,' but now those shortcomings have been completely corrected.
There will be no player who can beat Ahn Se-young for the time being."
I looked ahead.
He analyzed, "His footwork has improved, and his play in front of the net has become more delicate.
He moves back quickly and hits his smashes faster," and praised him, saying, "He may have natural athleticism, but he seems like a player who puts in a lot of effort and training."
At the same time, he gave advice that only a senior who has stood at the top of the world can give.
Bang Su-hyun said, "If you don't train, you can feel anxious, but to become a world-class player, training a lot doesn't mean you have to.
You have to take good care of your body."
He added, "Especially because he is a defensive type and has a style that involves a lot of rallies, the most important thing is not to get injured.
“Do it,” he emphasized.
Ahn Se-young injured her right knee in the women's singles final of the Hangzhou Asian Games against Chen Yu-Fei (China) on the 7th and was diagnosed with 2 to 5 weeks of rehabilitation.
Suhyeon Bang said that she also needed to let go of the burden and pressure.
Bang Bang-hyeon said, “When you become number one in the world, there is pressure from other players and you have to win the gold medal at all costs,” and encouraged him, “You have to let go of the pressure and overcome the pressure well.”
For Bang Bang-hyun, who has remained a unique presence in Korean singles for over 30 years, Ahn Se-young is a very welcome junior.
Bang Soo-hyeon confessed, “I was uncomfortable because I was afraid that singles players would have a hard time because of being compared to me,” and added, “I hope Ahn Se-young goes (over me).
That’s good for the development of badminton.”
Bang Bang-hyeon, whose youngest daughter is a high school student, said, "When her daughter goes to college, she intends to do something that will help Korean badminton."
