Shuttler Queen An Se-young won the gold medal today (29th) by defeating Japan's Akane Yamaguchi 2-0 (21-17, 21-9) in the women's singles badminton final at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
It was a flawless victory, as she did not drop a single game from the Round of 32 to the final.
Even in the final, she rattled Yamaguchi with precise plays hitting every corner of the court, wrapping up the match in just two games.
Reaching the top of the podium once again following the 2022 Hangzhou Games, An Se-young wrote a new history by becoming the first player ever to win consecutive gold medals in the women's singles badminton at the Asian Games.
