‘It’s A Slow Recovery, Happy To Be Back’: An Se Young On Badminton WC Opening Win Amid Ankle Issues
An Se Young: World No. 1 An Se Young began her BWF World Championships campaign with a 21-14, 21-13 victory over Bulgaria’s Kaloyana Nalbantova in New Delhi on Monday, but the South Korean star admitted she is still managing an ankle injury as she works her way back to full fitness.
For An, the result was less about making a statement and more about finding her rhythm again after an injury-hit period. The 23-year-old, who had her ankle iced after the match, said she was pleased with how her body felt despite some lingering discomfort.
“Yeah, I'm so happy to be back. Physically also perfect, so now I hope to get better in the next match. Yes, there's a little bit of pain, but I want to get back into a rhythm, so I hope it's more, and I hope to get a great result,” she told reporters after her win.
