The women's table tennis team consisting of Shin Yoo-bin, Jeon Ji-hee (32, Mirae Asset Securities, 15th in the world), and Lee Eun-hye (29, Korean Air, 44th in the world) won the women's team bronze medal match at the South Paris Arena at 5 p.m. on the 10th (Korea time) by a score of 3-0 against Germany. After Kim Kyung-ah, Dang Ye-seo, and Park Mi-young in 2008, she has visited the Korean women's table tennis for the first time in 16 years.
Since 2008, he has stayed in the semifinals in 2012, the quarterfinals in 2016, and 2021, shaking off the regret that he has never reached the podium.
While Jeon Ji-hee, a veteran ace who played for the national team for 10 years from 2014 and competed in his third Olympics, is still alive, Shin Yu-bin's stormy growth has been full of troops. While competitors such as Germany, Singapore, and Hong Kong, excluding China and Japan, have weakened their power, South Korea's power has soared due to the emergence of 'Ace Shin Yu-bin'. In the Olympic team event in the 'Bok-Dan-Dan', Shin Yu-bin-Jeon Ji-hee was a must-win formula. The experience of Jeon Ji-hee melted due to Shin Yu-bin's spirit, and the Republic of Korea recorded the highest record ever.
Shin Yu-bin started all the games from July 27th, when the table tennis match began, to August 10th, the last day. With Lim Jong-hoon, he won a bronze medal in mixed doubles and visited Korea's table tennis medal for the first time in 12 years, and flew to the semifinals in the women's singles. Following this, Shin Yu-bin decided to win another medal with 'Double Partner' Jeon Ji-hee and 'Team Sister'Lee Eun-hye. He never missed his first doubles, cheering for the team more enthusiastically than anyone else on the bench, giving him the energy to win. In the team event, Gear won the bronze medal promised and succeeded in winning multiple medals. After winning two bronze medals in singles and women's doubles at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, she won multiple medals in the women's table tennis for the first time in 32 years since Hyeon Jung-hwa. In Tokyo, she was loved and proved her potential with `Ppiyak' and announced her time in the world table tennis world.
