For the second consecutive year, Korea’s performance at the BWF World Junior Mixed Team Championship has been disappointing. They suffered a 3-0 defeat to Indonesia in today’s crucial match for a spot in the quarter-finals. Last year, they also failed to reach the quarter-finals in Lima, Peru, despite being the No.2 seeds. Korea Team Manager Pyo Sun Ho struggled to find words to explain the one-sided outcome of the Group F showdown.
“It’s a dilemma for us. The result is regrettable. We expected to win against Indonesia, but it ultimately depends on our players and their performance,” he said. Pyo acknowledged that handling pressure might have contributed to the team’s poor performance. “Yes, our juniors are often nervous on court, which affects their performance. Many of our players have admitted this.”
