Why An Se-young is abnormal

In sports like badminton, which have many matches throughout the year, an 80% win rate is considered top-tier among the absolute best.
Even players who have won Olympic and World Championship gold medals and held the No. 1 ranking often have a cumulative win rate of less than 80%.
Since the number of matches has increased since 2010:
Yamaguchi: 76%
Chen Yufei: 78%
Marin: 78%
Tai Tzu-ying: 74% (this player held the cumulative world No. 1 ranking for 214 weeks)
An Se-young is over 86%.
She plays about 80 matches per season.
She competes about a quarter of the 365 days in a year.
There are good days, bad days, and days when one is sick.
In the 1990s, when players only played 30 or 40 matches a year, there were even women's doubles teams that went undefeated; back then, the number of matches was low, and badminton was a period when there was a shortage of players and it wasn't profitable.
Modern badminton has tens of thousands of players.
In this sport, becoming a national representative or reaching the top makes you wealthy.
An Se-young had 73 wins and 4 losses last year. This year, she has 56 wins and 1 loss.
Even in 2023, her win rate was around 92% until her injury during the Asian Games.
Look at soccer, baseball, volleyball, or basketball, which have many matches.
No matter how strong they are, they cannot reach those levels.
Table tennis is a sport where singles and doubles are all combined.
