Korean Badminton Star Wins Gold, Following in Mother's Footsteps

Kim Won-ho, son of a famous badminton champion, and his partner Seo Seung-jae, won a gold medal in Paris.

Won-ho's mother, Gil Young-ah, is a badminton legend, and Won-ho once felt the pressure of living up to her achievements.

He even told his mother when he was young that he wanted a normal mother.

Now, he's proving himself as an athlete and not just his mother's son, while also making history.

The duo are also the first Korean mother-son Olympic medalists.

Seo had previously expressed the challenges of performing on such a big stage.

Both are aiming for more victories, including Olympic and Asian Games titles.
