[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] South Korea's "Invincible Queen" Ahn Se-young achieved two consecutive women's singles titles at the Nagoya Asian Games, becoming the first person in history. An Xiying said in an interview that her goal is to surpass "Super Dan" Lin Dan.

The 24-year-old An Xiying has won 8 championships this year, with a record of 56 wins and 1 loss, and a winning rate of 98.2%. She currently has 40 consecutive victories and is expected to refresh her own record of 11 championships in a single season and the highest winning rate of 94.8%. After An Xiying completes her title defense at the Asian Games, her world ranking points will rise to 122,287 points, once again setting a new high in women's singles history.

An Xiying won her first Olympic gold medal in her career at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She also accumulated 2 gold medals in the World Championships and Asian Games. An Xiying said in an interview after the game: "I am challenging all these records. I also want to make a lot of history like Lin Dan. I hope to follow what he has done." Lin Dan won 2 Olympic gold medals, 5 World Championships and 2 consecutive Asian Games titles in his career.

Regarding whether she is at her peak, An Xiying said frankly when she returned to China yesterday that she actually has no feeling. If this is her peak, then there are still many things to do in the future and she still has many shortcomings.
