🏸 The women’s singles final at the BWF World Championships was expected to be a nail-biter, but 2020 Olympic champ Chen Yufei was still hampered by the ankle she twisted against world No.1 An Se-young in the semis.
After taking eight painkillers, Chen limped through the match, but Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi was ruthless—aggressive smashes, sharp footwork, and zero signs of slowing down. She swept the match in straight sets, 21–9, 21–13, to secure her third world crown. 🔥
In mixed doubles, Malaysia’s Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei stunned players from the Chinese mainland, 21–15, 21–14, winning Malaysia’s first-ever world gold in this event. 🇲🇾
On the men's doubles front, top seeds Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae of South Korea breezed past debutants from the Chinese mainland, Chen Boyang and Liu Yi, 21–17, 21–12. 🥇
