[스타뉴스 | 진천=김우종 기자] ‘Badminton Empress’ Ahn Se-young (22, Samsung Life Insurance) did not say anything about the exact condition of her knee.

So I hope there will be a day after the Olympics when I can explain everything in detail.” I didn’t say anything.
Kim Hak-gyun, coach of the badminton team, said about Ahn Se-young’s knee, “The medical opinion and the physical condition of the player to play are different.

It will be difficult for me, so I am using various methods. “One way is to change your posture, such as by raising your posture a little more so that it puts less strain on your knees,” he explained.
Representative athletes participating in the Paris Olympics will have to battle the scorching heat. Seyoung Ahn said, “I actually prefer the heat more than the cold. Also, I think I have a lot of experience in adapting to the weather and wind. If I believe in myself and play the game, I think I can beat the heat.” He said.
