'Recapture the world's 2nd place in 5 years' Korean badminton "AG, Olympics no problem"
The last appearance ahead of the World Individual Championships in August and the Asian Games 카지노 in Hangzhou in September
The Korean badminton team threw an early ticket ahead of the Asian Games in Hangzhou in September.
This is because major international competitions such as the World Individual Championships on the 21st to 27th and the World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 1000 China Open on the 5th to 10th of next month are concentrated ahead of the Hangzhou Asian Games.
As the national team trying to avenge the 'No Medal' humiliation at the 2018 Jakarta Palembang Asian Games, these are tournaments that can't be missed as the final line-up.
The World Individual Championships are also important competitions in themselves.
Opened for the first time in 1977, it is the most prestigious international competition among tournaments in which five individual events (men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles) are held in a tournament format.
National team coach Kim Hak-gyun said at Media Day held at Jincheon National Training Center in Chungbuk on the 16th, "We have progressed well step by step so far toward our biggest goal, the Asian Games and Olympics." I think I can," he said confidently.
Coach Kim predicted that he would win medals in all seven categories of the Asian Games, saying, “If we get good results in the team event that will be held first, the individual performance will automatically follow.”
A total of seven gold medals are at stake in the Asian Games, including men's and women's team event (2), men's and women's singles (2), men's and women's doubles (2), and mixed doubles (1).
Director Kim's confidence is not 'confidence without grounds'.
Last month, Korea ranked second in the team rankings announced by the BWF every quarter thanks to the performances of Ahn Se-young, the star of women's singles, and Kim So-young-Gong Hee-yong and Lee So-hee-Baek Ha-na, women's doubles.
In the ranking announced in April 2018, it last took 2nd place, fell to 7th place at one time, and then regained the 2nd place in about 5 years and 3 months.
Number one is China.
Korea has won 7 gold medals, 7 silver medals, and 8 bronze medals in 7 events on the BWF World Tour 1000 and 750 this year.
Coaches for each event also made their own resolutions.
Seong Ji-hyeon, women's singles coach, compared the composition of the women's singles 'Big 4', saying, "Yamaguchi (Japan) has good speed, Chen Yufei (China) has good stamina and offense and defense play, and Tai Ziying (Taiwan) is aggressive." He said, "(Ahn) Se-yeong is taking the original play as it is and trying to add a more defensive or aggressive play (depending on the opponent).
" "The goal is to play ," he said. "Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong make good use of the court, and Lee So-hee and Baek Ha-na maintain good defense and are practicing how to quickly switch between attacks.
" They seem to be less able to live up to the expectations than the female players, but they are enduring well, producing as good as when Lee Yong-dae was there," he said. "I would like to ask for your expectations and support.
" In the women's singles,
world No. 1 Ahn Se-young and Kim Ga-eun will compete, and in the women's doubles, world No. 3 Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong and No. 2 Lee So-hee and Baek Ha-na will compete for the championship.
In men's doubles, Choi Sol-gyu-Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae-Kang Min-hyuk were named.
In the men's singles, Jeon Hyuk-jin competed, while Lee Yun-gyu also joined the national team at the Hangzhou Asian Games.
