Racket Sports

An Se-young is a South Korean badminton player, born on 5 February 2002, who won the gold medal in the women's singles at the 2024 Summer Olympics. She won the World Championships in 2023 and 2026, the first Korean women's singles player to do so, and the Asian Games women's singles in 2022 and 2026. She was named the BWF Most Promising Player of 2019 and Female Player of the Year in 2023, and in 2018 she became the first junior high school student on the South Korean national team. The English Wikipedia lead gives only these career facts, so this entry records the nationality, birth date, discipline and the honours the lead names, and leaves the full tournament results, partners and club history to later sourced work rather than guessing at anything the lead does not state.
