‘Shuttlecock Empress’ Ahn Se-young “I will definitely overcome my knee injury” – Dong-A Ilbo VRESP

亞After the Games, as concerns grew due to poor performance in participating competitions and prolonged injuries and pain, he posted on social media, “Prepare for the Olympics so you won’t regret it.”

“It is said that the partially ruptured patellar tendon (knee ligament) cannot improve in a short period of time, contrary to the initial diagnosis.”

‘Badminton Empress’ Ahn Se-young (22, photo) announced the extent of her injury and wrote, “Rather than worrying about the injury, please wait with support and I will do my best to live up to your expectations.” Ahn Se-young posted on her Instagram on the 7th, “I decided to write this because I thought you might be wondering why my injury hasn’t healed for so long,” she said. “There are still a lot of speculations regarding her injury, so I’m going to tell you exactly.” “I don’t know if the article mentions something I didn’t say, but it’s stressing me out,” she said.

Ahn Se-young suffered a torn knee ligament during the women’s singles final at the Hangzhou Asian Games in October last year. After returning home, she underwent a hospital examination and was told that she could recover after six weeks of treatment and rehabilitation at the most. However, Ahn Se-young said, “Contrary to her diagnosis, her pain did not decrease, so she visited another hospital after the World Tour Finals in December (last year). “By the time she gets to the Olympics, she has to adjust to the pain,” she said. “So she’s focused on the Olympics rather than the immediate results and she’s adjusting to the pain and getting better.”

Ahn Se-young also said that the recent slump was due to enteritis caused by stress. Se-young Ahn said, “A lot of people are worried that the reason I’m not performing well in competitions these days is because of injuries, but at this year’s World Women’s Team Championships, I was in poor condition due to symptoms of acute enteritis caused by stress, not my knee (injury). Self-care is important to her and I am sorry for not being able to do that,” she wrote. “She will spend the rest of her time preparing to have no regrets on the stage called the Olympics,” she wrote.
