Although Son has never made it past the quarter-finals in previous World Championships, as the current No.1, he is expected to be a strong contender for the gold. However, Son has also faced criticism for struggling on the big stage. The past season highlighted this, as he lost all three World Superseries finals against relatively lower-ranked opponents. Son has since worked diligently to rectify this perception.
Reflecting on his journey, Son acknowledges the disappointment of not achieving desired results in many matches and tournaments. However, he emphasizes how his performance has improved over time, especially after the Olympics. The increased confidence from those experiences has driven him to strive for more and enhance his game.
