BADMINTON | WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Huge Carolina Marin. World Silver. It is true that she had the objective of adding her fourth title as world champion after taking gold in 2014, 2015 and 2018. It is no less true that the Huelva woman returned to Copenhagen in a world championship final after some difficult years both in the aspect physically, overcoming serious injuries (injuries to the right and left knee), as well as personal (with the loss of his father).
In any case, Carolina Marín extended her career as a sports legend as World runner-up after losing in the final to Korean An Se Young, number one in the world ranking, by a score of 21-12 and 21-10 in 50 minutes. The Spaniard, who in her day had already decided to change her style of play to a more tactical and conservative tone, found a fast, voracious, incisive rival, a physical marvel.
In any case, against the background of a year of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games (Marín was already Olympic champion in Rio de Janeiro 2016), the Andalusian continues to be among the best; What’s more, her Korean rival of hers and she are the two best in the world.
«We have achieved a silver medal. I’m a little disappointed with how I played today, it wasn’t my day. But it is true that I am proud of everything I have been training for, for having fought so hard for this in one more World Cup final. I have shown this week that I am back to my physical and mental level. This does not end here and we are going to go for more, “Marín told Badminton Europe.
