Shin Yoo-bin (Korean Air) and Lim Jong-hoon (Korea Exchange), who are challenging for the first medal in 12 years at the Paris Olympics, expressed their golden confidence.
Im Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin faced the reporters with a bright smile in an interview held at Iwol Multipurpose Gymnasium in Jincheon, Chungcheongbuk-do on the 29th. Aiming at the second seed of mixed doubles at the Paris Olympics, vivid tension was detected that it was hard to believe that the doubles team had been running tirelessly around the world for nearly a year, including Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, China, Croatia, Slovenia and Nigeria.

In the end, he flew all the way to Nigeria, Africa, and completed the winning mission. Immediately after winning the championship, Im Jong-hoon roared hot. Shin Yu-bin laughed, saying, "Jong-hoon's brother looked fine, so I was also fine, but I was surprised to scream after winning." Im Jong-hoon "I pretended to be okay, but I was happy to think that I did one. It was important to win against the Japanese team directly, but it was also important to hold a tournament that should not be lost"I looked back. I earned 400 points. But the No. 2 seed war is ongoing. The Japanese team also reached the WTT Contender Tunis mixed doubles final in Tunisia, Africa, on the 30th. Christian Carlson-Kristina Carlsbergjo of Sweden will be challenged for the third consecutive championship. If Japan is runner-up, Korea's No. 2 seed is virtually confirmed, but the situation will change if Japan wins and scores 400 points alongside Korea. The difference between the two teams will be reduced to 210 points, and the second seed will be decided at the WTT Star Contender Bangkok in Thailand on July 2-7. If the Japanese group advances to the final, the Korean group must also reach the final to protect the second seed.

Shin Yu-bin also "The more you double, the better you get it. Starting in 2022, Jong-hoon and I are well aware of what we are good at. I always trust my brother and send the ball to him, he said, expressing his strong trust.
Asked about his goals for the Paris Olympics, Shin said without hesitation, "All-around medals!cried " Korea's top ranker Shin Yu-bin will compete in all events, including women's singles, team events, and mixed doubles, in Paris. "The opportunity to compete in all events has come. It's hard to go to the Olympics once, but I'm very lucky to play many games. I'll do my best in all events. " "If it doesn't work, we can't help it. Go high!," he said with a smile.
Im Jong-hoon "I want to enter the medal table at the mixed doubles and beat China. I'm also thinking of a gold medal. The members of the team event (Jang Woo-jin, Lim Jong-hoon, and Cho Dae-sung) have been confirmed. I will try to win a medal with the determination that I will never lose to non-national athletes in every competition."
Regarding the merits of a doubles partner, Shin Yu-bin "Oppa doesn't get angry. He doesn't even scold me. It's worth being angry, but we're sad together? I wish I could have done this even on a day when the game didn't go well." Lim Jong-hoon said, `Yubin is as capable as a male player. You don't have to scold or get angry because you always believe in it.'
Ahead of his trip to Bangkok, Im Jong-hoon said, `I told Yu-bin that the second seed is important, and we will win the second seed, but my goal is to beat the opponent's spirits ahead of the Olympics.' When Shin Yu-bin said, "I'm thinking about using a strategy to embarrass my opponent before the Olympics", "Secret!"," he said, blocking his partner Im Jong-hoon's mouth.
Shin Yu-bin said of the fierce seed competition with the Japanese team "It's interesting. It's fun to compete," he said with a smile.
"The No. 2 seed is important, but performance is important. That way, I can do well at the Olympics. I hope we can have a game that we like on our own at the Olympics."

Lim Jong-hoon, who said he doesn't even remember going home to his hometown in Daejeon for the last three years amid a worldwide march, put all his bets on the Olympic medal. "Trying to maintain a state of awareness. It's less than a month away. Even if I die, I intend to win a medal and die after the match. There was not much time left. I'm repeating, "Let's cheer up a little bit more.' "I'm trying not to show the difficulty. Maybe because Yubin is young, she still seems to have strength." Shin Yu-bin is just a daily routine. At first, I thought it would be very hard, but now that I go there, I'm fine, I'm not sick, and I feel good. The difficulties have already been overcome."
