Paris 2024 Olympics - Final Day, 5 August 2024

Congratulations on the Olympic Gold Medal An Se-Young, adding another achievement to the list! Quality of the final was high - only small mistakes from both sides especially in G2 despite it being straight games.
 
what if the final were Marin vs ASY? who would win?
 
Congratz to ASY.

ASY has such good retrieval for a WS player. She is one of the few WS players that does a full dive on her smash returns, something you normally see among the top MS players. I wonder if the other national teams are training their WS players to do full dives for smash returns. Besides smash returns, ASY's level of retrieval is just a stop above the other WS players.

HBJ did pretty well. But she was just outmatched and outgunned. To be honest, HBJ is lucky to have a silver medal because of CM's injury. CM was on track to beat HBJ yesterday. What would be interesting would be to see prime TTY, so that would be 2017 TTY, against prime ASY. 2017 TTY would be master of racket technique with the stamina/fitness to go with it, against prime ASY who is the master of retrieval.

Sad to see CM could not stay fit until the finals. I think CM would have given ASY a better run for her money. But if we go by last year's WC finals, even a healthy CM had no answers for a healthy ASY in her prime.
 
i gotta admit asy have been pretty lucky at this olympics. from tty injury to cyf getting eliminated in qf then marin got injured yesterday...but make no mistake about it, if asy was in this kind of playing mood i think she'll beat marin too

ASY. Just rewatch last year's WC finals between the two. CM was healthy last year, and 1 year younger, and she still had no answers for ASY.

and marin form at that wc was just as good as it was at the this olympics too. she didn't lose a single set before she met asy and she basically destroyed both tty & ay prior to that final
 
ASY journey to gold is quite so so.
AY long recovery, CYF is lost to HBJ, CM retired in match, TTY still injury.

Even in SF vs GMT is more interesting than final

love asy but i think prime tty will beat her. it will be close though. asy still hasn't reach her peak imo, i feel like she still can get even better especially attacking wise

Yeah, I feel ASY got a little lucky with CYF eliminated. To be fair to ASY though, she did beat CYF last year on her run to the WC gold medal. So I think ASY goes into a match as the favorite against CYF. However, I noticed that CYF has a decent head to head against ASY in the last 2 years, so I think if CYF is in her form and is in the zone, she would pose a serious threat to ASY.

she beat cyf in wc sf, ag final (both team event & individual), & ae final. in fact asy only lost 1 time to cyf in the final and that was their last meeting in indonesia

i think she got pretty lucky here in paris but i hope people realize that asy has beat pretty much every top ws in important final. it's not like he's in va situation where va only started his domination after momota had incident back then
