The President of the Korea Table Tennis Association, Lee Yoo Seung Min, did not hide his satisfaction with Shin Yu-bin (20, Korean Air, 8th in the world)'s advance to the semifinals of the women's singles at the Paris Olympics.
On the 30th, Shin Yoo-bin and Lim Jong-hoon ranked third in the mixed doubles, and two days after bringing the Olympic medal for the first time in 12 years since London in 2012, Shin Yoo-bin has made it to the semifinals of the women's singles for the first time in 20 years since Kim Kyung-ah (Korean Air coach) at the 2004 Athens Games.

Shin Yu-bin dominated one to three games and led 3-0 in the game score, and was pushed back by Hirano, who had 'Cooling Time', by giving up four to six games, but he did not lose his concentration until the end. He overcame a seven-game deuce war to secure a thrilling semifinal. As soon as the tension of the breathtaking match was relieved, Shin Yu-bin burst into tears.
Meeting at the South Paris Arena, President Yoo Seung Min said "These results continue to come out of the Olympics for the first time in too long. I'm so happy. More than anything, I want to congratulate you and compliment you as I thought about how nervous you must have been at the end." "Because it was a really difficult game. Table tennis becomes difficult when you win 3-0 and then chase 3-3. He explained, "I think that overcoming that difficult situation on his own has gone up one level now. I think he has grown mentally and physically." "Most of all, today's game was impeccable in terms of content. Even if Yubin lost 3 to 4, the game should be praised because it was so perfect. The opponent is not very acceptable either. So something that I can praise very much."
The only weighting country that defeated China in the men's singles stage at the Olympics in the 2000s, the champion of table tennis who turned around Wang Hao, the pride of Chinese table tennis, expressed expectations for the semifinals of the women's singles between Shin Yu-bin and Chen Meng (world No. 4). "This much momentum." With this condition, it's worth playing with Chen Meng. I think Yubin should now think of 'plus alpha' and do it from the standpoint of challenging himself. If so, I can torment Chen Meng enough,' he advised. "No matter how much China has a gap. Among Chinese table tennis players, Chen Meng is the most shaken player in singles recently, and with Yubin's momentum now, she can challenge herself"I instilled confidence.
He instilled the energy that defeated Wang Hao 20 years ago to his junior Shin Yu-bin. "It continues to give good energy. I'm looking forward to it. I'm very happy to see these records come out one after another while I'm the chairman of the Durban World Championship, Hangzhou Asian Games. We'll continue to support you," he said with a big smile.
The chairman emphasized 'Yubin's energy replenishment' "Yubin said he wanted to eat meat, but he has to buy me meat quickly. I keep checking my schedule. I need to buy you meat quickly so that you can cheer up the rest of the game!," he said, expressing his support.
