He Bing Zhao (9th in the world) lost 2-0 to Ahn Se-young in the women's singles final at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at Port Drachapel Stadium in Paris, France on the 5th (Korea time).
Immediately after the match, He Bing Jao stood on the podium alongside An Se-young (gold medal) and Tunjung (bronze medal) of Indonesia.
He Bingjao took the podium with the Spanish team badge on his finger and won the silver medal.
The Spanish badge was a consideration for Spanish player Carolina Marin, who withdrew from the match due to an unexpected injury while playing against her in the semifinals the previous day.
Marin was defending He Bing Zhao's attack in the second game 10-8 when he was leading 1-0 when his right knee was severely twisted.
Marin, who was complaining of pain, eventually gave up the game.
According to foreign media, the badge was received by the Badminton Association of Spain in the hope that He Bing Zhao would respect Marin and take his spirit to the final.
He Bing Jiao, who reached the final with Marin's withdrawal, `wanted Marin to see me at the ceremony, and I expect him to recover soon"
