Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong lost 1-2 (21-16, 9-21, 12-21) to world No. 1 Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan (China) in the women's doubles semifinal held at Binjiang Gymnasium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Kim So-young, who injured her right calf during training last month, struggled due to the injury, and Gong Hee-yong made mistakes while trying too hard to cover the court.



Kim So-young said, "It’s disappointing if I think about it that way, but I’m relieved to have safely played one match and won a valuable bronze medal." Gong Hee-yong said, "I’m thankful that my older sister played hard despite being injured," adding, "I regret that I should have played better but couldn’t."
