PETALING JAYA: The pain of losing in the first round to Chinese nemesis Chen Yufei in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta was fresh in An Se-young’s memory and the South Korean was finally able to exact her revenge in warrior like fashion in Hangzhou.

Se-young was only 16 while Yufei, the 2016 world junior champion, had been progressing fast and had reached the semi-finals of the 2017 World Championships in Glasgow.
