(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hong Gyu-bin = In every recent interview, ‘Badminton Queen’ Ahn Se-young (22, Samsung Life Insurance) always mentions a name along with national team coach Kim Hak-gyun. That name is trainer Han Su-jeong (26).

He joined the national team as a conditioning manager in July of last year, and has been serving as Ahn Se-young’s dedicated trainer since this year.

When Ahn Se-young was having a hard time after injuring her knee in the finals of the Hangzhou Asian Games in October last year, the person who was closest to her was a trainer.

His role is not limited to simply managing her condition. He also plays the role of keeping Ahn Se-young, who is in her early 20s, centered so that she does not become mentally unstable.

This is also the background to why Ahn Se-young was in tears after being eliminated in the semi-finals of the Jeonyeong Open last March.

On her way back home at the time, Ahn Se-young confessed, “I was impatient as my body was not improving very well, and the trainer had a really hard time beside me,” and “I was really sorry that I couldn’t get good results, and at the same time, I was moved to tears with gratitude.”

He also said, “I don’t know if I can hold out until the Olympics, but I’m holding on each day with faith in my trainer.”

When she overcame knee pain last month to win the Singapore Open and finish runner-up in the Indonesian Open, Ahn Se-young thought of her ‘teacher.’

Ahn Se-young, whom we met at Incheon International Airport, said, “The trainer told me, ‘Think you’re not in pain and always go into the game with the mindset that it’s 0-0,’ so I played with just that in mind. The person next to me tried to change my thinking (positively). “He expressed his gratitude.

Trainer Han Su-jeong, who recently met with Yonhap News at the Jincheon Athletes’ Village in North Chungcheong Province, remained by Ahn Se-young’s side throughout training.

One trainer said, “We are together for almost 24 hours. After asking Seyoung about her condition, we plan a warm-up program and stretching routine that suits her. At first, Seyoung said, ‘I have my own routine,’ but now she has accepted it a lot.” “he said.

He said, “Seyoung only knows one thing, badminton, which is an advantage as a player, but it’s also really sad. It’s hard on her. Since it’s a singles sport, she doesn’t have a partner to rely on, so she seems lonely and having a hard time.”

He added, “After working out, my relationship became stronger as he recommended books and songs to help me change my mood. I think Seyoung feels like she has an older sister she can rely on.”

One trainer tried to instill ‘romance’ in Ahn Se-young, who was too strict with herself.

It is said that he would often say things like, “How romantic it is that the Olympics are being held in Paris”, “Meeting that person (Tian Weifei) again means you have a story to tell”, and “The next Olympics are in Los Angeles (LA), how young you are.”

He hoped for Ahn Se-young, “I’m looking forward to working out, I’m excited to show off what I’ve practiced in games, and I’m excited to have a ceremony when it’s over. I hope she fills up her own romance every day.”

One trainer’s wish is becoming a reality.

The resolution that Ahn Se-young personally revealed at the media day on the 25th of last month was to “have a romantic time in Paris.”

When asked about the specific meaning, Ahn Se-young said, “My trainer said a lot of good things to remind me. ‘If you start to feel excited when you exercise and feel like you finished the exercise well, you will have lived a great day.’ “Everything,” he explained.

He said, “I started the year with an injury, but in the process, I came up with good plans and goals. If I can finish it well, I think I can say that I lived this year romantically.”

Madison Keys Forced to Retire Due to Injury at Wimbledon, Jasmine Paolini Advances to Quarter-Finals

Published

By


A little drama unfolded on Court 1 at Wimbledon this Sunday. Madison Keys, in tears, had to resign herself to abandoning against Jasmine Paolini while she had narrowly escaped victory a few minutes earlier, leading 5-2 double break before injuring her left thigh and having to give up continuing this spectacular and emotional fight. The American, who had just conceded an ace, preferred to leave it there after 2 hours and 23 minutes of play, losing 6-3, 6-7(6), 5-5 (15-A) and letting her opponent slip away to her first quarter-final at Wimbledon. She will face another American, Coco Gauff or Emma Navarro.

The Roland-Garros finalist came within two points of victory in the deciding game of a second set that was already full of twists and turns, as she came back from 5-1, 40-15 down before losing on the wire. We thought we had settled the score. But that was without her extraordinary fighting spirit. And without the bad luck that struck Madison, of course. At 5-4, the latter left the court for a long medical timeout during which she had her left adductor strapped. But we quickly saw upon her return, when she could barely walk and push off on her legs, that it would be complicated. She tried to close on her serve but, once it was lost on a double fault, it was a lost cause.

A stroke of luck for the Italian but she fully deserves the good fortune that is currently accompanying her. She who had never won a match on grass before this year therefore follows a semi-final in Eastbourne with a first quarter-final here. She is the fifth Italian to reach the “big 8” in London after Laura Golarsa (1989), Silvia Farina Elia (2003), Francesca Schiavone (2009) and Camila Giorgi (2018).

Italian Judokas Shine at European Cup Junior: Gaia Stella and Cristiano Mincinesi Lead the Way with Gold Medals

Published

It is tsunami-Italy in Prague that, on the second day of the European Cup Junior, won the gold medal with Cristiano Mincinesi in the 90 kg, Gaia Stella in the 52 kg, the silver medal with Rebecca Valeriani in the 48 kg, the bronze medal with Henry Owusu Asare Owusu in the 90 kg, Ilaria Finestrone in the 52 kg, Giulia Carna and Michela Terranova in the 57 kg.

The total of the day is seven medals, plus two from yesterday it gets to nine and for the medal table by nation it can go well like this: Italy is first with three golds, two silvers, four bronzes. Brazil has taken ten medals, but is behind because it has only two golds.

“I’m happy with this medal and satisfied with the race,” she said. Gaia Stella– It was a very challenging race and this result means a lot to me. I thank my family, my coaches and my gym mates.”

“After the gold at the absolute, I came here to win, like in every race. – she said Giulia Carnà– I don’t want to appeal to the referees’ interpretations, I only make mea culpa for my mistakes. A new four-year period and new goals begins. I thank the Fiamme Oro, my teachers Marco and Fabrizio Fantauzzo. Thanks to the entire Judo virtus Fantauzzo company and to my family who follows me from home”.

“Despite the lost match, I am very happy with my race for being able to get back up and win all the repechage matches, arriving at the medal. -he said Henry Owusu Asare Owusu– I would really like to thank my president Lucia Rubini, my teacher Luigi Crescini, my coach Luca Ravanetti who followed me today, the Federal technicians present, all my teammates of KSDK Parma for the support they gave me today by cheering from home and every day during training and, finally, my class 5B and Salvatore Robuschi who supports my path”.

“Even though today I wasn’t in top form,” he said instead Michela Terranova– I think I had a good race, bringing home a wealth of experience and motivation. With today’s bronze, I win my third medal in the junior world judo tour. I thank all the coaches of the national team for supporting me, but above all I thank the Carabinieri, my commander Luigi Guido and my coach Giovanni Carollo, who unfortunately is not here with me… but from afar he helped me a lot. Focus on the next ones”. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“Superlative performance by our Azzurri who were the protagonists of the second day of competition. Above all, Mincinesi and Stella impressed with determination, tenacity and great judo, making the Mameli Anthem resound here in Prague. – this is the comment of the three Azzurri coaches, Vito Zocco, Salvatore Ferro, Luca Ravanetti– Valeriani’s performance was no less impressive, only stopped by the English athlete in the final at the end of a balanced and hard-fought match. Also of great value were the four bronze medals won by Finestrone, Carná, Terranova and Owusu who strongly wanted to reach the podium after having played convincing tests. There is a bitter taste in the mouth for the medal lost to Sciacovelli.

With today’s seven medals, net of some very questionable refereeing decisions, the young Azzurri have projected our national team to the top of the medal table and give us hope for future commitments”.
