Shin Yu-bin will play in the semi-finals of the mixed table tennis doubles at the Paris Olympics at midnight on the 30th (Korea Standard Time) with 'left-handed ace' Lim Jong-hoon (Korea Exchange). The opponent is Wang Chuqin-Sun Ying Xiazo of China.
South Korea's table tennis has strategically used the mixed doubles of Shin Yu-bin and Lim Jong-hoon to regain the men's table tennis medal for the first time in 12 years since the 2012 London Games and the women's table tennis medal for the first time in 16 years since the 2008 Beijing Games. I've been working together for more than a year and dreaming of this day only.
The two players are in the best shape and teamwork. Ahead of the mixed doubles semifinals, Shin Yu-bin reached the round of 32 in the first round of 64 in the women's singles in the morning, lightly beating the 'Australian ace' Mullissa Tapper 4-0 (14-12 11-4 11-3 11-6). In the round of 32, he will meet Giorgina Fota (71st) of Hungary.
After warming up lightly in singles, he is preparing for a mixed doubles true-gum race to decide the medal. The team lost all four games against China. However, Shin Yu-bin and Lim Jong-hunjo did not pay attention to the past.
Lim Jong-hoon of the left hand and Shin Yoo-bin of the right hand are full of tension. Lim Jong-hoon, who plays world-class chikita, and top ranker Shin Yoo-bin, who has no skills to play, are full of energy every game. For more than a year, he has played countless games around the world for the second seed, matching his hands and feet as well as his eyes. Im Jong-hoon accepts the playful request of his seven-year-old younger sister Shin Yu-bin outside the table tennis court as if he can't beat it. Shin Yu-bin trusts and follows senior Lim Jong-hoon, who has the best skills and numerous games. Shin Yu-bin has a sunlight-like energy that lights up the surroundings. When he said that he seemed to enjoy himself, Im Jong-hoon "I'm actually really desperate " Im Jong-hoon continues to pursue 'comfort'desperate'desperate'desperate'desperate'desperate'desperate'desperate. I think I'm having fun doing it with Yubin," he said with a smile.
Shin Yu-bin and Im Jong-hoon did not care about their war with China As Im Jong-hoon "It doesn't matter who the opponent is, as he has done since the beginning. The opponents in front are all the same. We can make a good game if we make our play well and keep it steady as we prepared.' "The table tennis is a relative game, but the mind of preparing for the mixed doubles was like a record game. If we do well with ours, we can win unconditionally." 'Fantastic Partner' replied Shin Yu-bin bravely. "That's right. It doesn't matter if China, North Korea, Hong Kong, or anyone comes. We didn't care about who the opponent was from the first game, we just thought, 'Let's make sure we do what we prepared in the game. Actively with the spirit of challenge. Since Jong Hoon is next to me. We have faith in each other, so we can play a good game."
