SEOUL, Oct. 19 (Yonhap) -- With her latest victory in Denmark over the weekend, South Korean badminton star An Se-young set the record for the most international titles in the women's singles, the sport's international governing body said Monday.

The Badminton World Federation (BWF) announced on its social media that An's title at the Denmark Open on Sunday was her 47th international championship, one more than the former Indonesian star Susi Susanti.

The BWF noted that titles in regional games are excluded and these records have been kept since 1989.

An has been the world No. 1 for 105 consecutive weeks. She won a single-season record 11 titles in 2025 and is closing in on that mark this year with nine victories under her belt.

In the Denmark Open final, An defeated Akane Yamaguchi of Japan 2-1 (21-23, 21-14, 21-18) despite trailing in every game and dealing with an apparent right ankle injury.

Not counting team competitions, An has collected six titles on the BWF World Tour and also won gold medals at the Asian Championships, the BWF World Championships and the Asian Games in 2026.

An has lost just one match all season -- in the final of the All England Open in March.

Her next event is the French Open this week. She won the tournament in 2019, 2024 and 2025.

首尔，10 月 19 日（韩联社）——国际羽毛球联合会周一表示，凭借周末在丹麦取得的最新胜利，韩国羽毛球明星安世荣创造了女子单打国际冠军头衔最多的纪录。

世界羽毛球联合会（BWF）在其社交媒体上宣布，安在周日丹麦公开赛上获得的冠军是她的第 47 个国际冠军头衔，比前印尼球星苏西·苏珊蒂多一个。

世界羽联指出，地区性比赛的冠军头衔不包括在内，这些记录自 1989 年以来一直保存至今。

安以轩已连续105周位居世界第一。她在2025年创下单赛季11个冠军的纪录，今年她已斩获9个冠军，正朝着这一纪录逼近。

在丹麦公开赛决赛中，安以 2-1（21-23、21-14、21-18）击败日本选手山口茜，尽管她在每一局都落后，并且明显受到右脚踝伤势的困扰。

不算团体赛，安在世界羽联世界巡回赛上获得了六个冠军头衔，并在亚洲锦标赛、世界羽联世界锦标赛和2026年亚运会上获得了金牌。

安本赛季只输过一场比赛——3月份的全英公开赛决赛。

她接下来的赛事是本周的法国网球公开赛。她曾在2019年、2024年和2025年赢得过该项赛事的冠军。
