‘The One I Miss In The Collection Is The Gold’: Antonsen Targets Elusive Badminton WC Title
Antonsen has already collected three bronze medals and one silver at the World Championships, but the gold has remained out of reach. The 28-year-old admitted that completing his medal collection would be a career-defining achievement, although he knows the quality of the current field leaves little margin for error.
“Yeah, you're right. I've claimed the bronze three times and the silver once. So the one I miss in the collection is definitely the gold. So that could be amazing and a dream come true if I was able to claim that, but it was preventing me from getting that final step. I face some better players, I guess, in the given tournaments. So yeah, hopefully this year can be my year. I need to play my absolute best and maybe even better than I've ever done before. And then I need a bunch of luck. The men's singles category right now is insane. There are so many good players, there are so many contenders to win. So yeah, the one who wins this one definitely needs to bring his absolute best and maybe better,” Antonsen told reporters in the mixed zone at the IG Stadium on Sunday.
