The women's table tennis team consisting of Shin Yoo-bin (20, world No. 8), Lee Eun-hye (29, Korean Air, world No. 42), and Jeon Ji-hee (32, Mirae Asset Securities, world No. 14) will face Brazil in the round of 16 of the women's team event at the Paris Arena at 3 a.m. on the 6th (Korea time).
Brazil is made up of three players: 「Takahashi sisters」Bruna Takahashi (20th in the world), Ezlia Takahashi (90th in the world) and"Hanpal table tennis players"Bruna Alexander (182nd in the world). South Korea has the upper hand in objective power. South Korea beat Brazil 3-1 in the round of 16 in the women's table tennis team at the Busan World Championships last February. After Shin Yu-bin, who played in the first singles match at the time, was beaten 2-3 by Bruna Takahashi, Jeon Ji-hee and Lee Si-on won the game with a 3-0 score. Before the Paris Olympics, Shin Yu-bin confessed that he had gained the enlightenment he gained through this defeat. I thought "'It's not my ping pong." Rather than losing, I was angry that my ping pong wasn't there. No matter what anyone says, I realized that I had to play my table tennis that I wanted to play. I learned that I have no regrets when I come out of my table tennis."

The Olympic team event will be held in the order of 'Double-Singles-Singles'. In South Korea, Oh Kwang-heon, head coach of the women's national team, said, `I am confident that I will not lose to any other team in the world"There is a "World's Strongest Double Group" Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee group. If Shin and Jeon take the lead and take one point, the ensuing singles match is easier and more advantageous. If South Korea beats Brazil, it will compete with the winner of the Hong Kong-Sweden match in the quarterfinals.
