'Reached the quarterfinals & earned a ticket to the Paris Olympics' Shin Yubin


The South Korean women's table tennis team has booked its ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The women's team defeated South American powerhouse Brazil 3-1 in the round of 16 at the BNK Busan Bank 2024 Busan World Table Tennis Championships at BEXCO on Sunday afternoon.

It didn't start well. Korea sent Shin Yoo-bin (Korean Air, 19) to the No. 1 spot, but she fell in a full-game battle to opposing ace Bruna Takahashi. Shin took the first game with a successful attack on her opponent's middle, but was dragged down by her opponent, who changed her game plan in game two. She fought her way to the final game, but was unable to play at 100% as her opponent fought hard. He dropped the last point of the fifth game with a service error.

It was Jeon Jeon Hee (31Mirae Asset Securities) who revitalized the atmosphere in the stadium. Against Julia Takahashi, the younger sister of Brazil's No. 1 player Bruna Takahashi, Jeon quickly won the match with a powerful left-handed attack. After a brief seesaw game in the first game, Jeon dominated as the match progressed. Her international experience was a powerful weapon in her arsenal. She had no trouble finding answers to her opponent's pimpler pitches. The last three games were won with only two points conceded.

In the third game, which came down to a 1-1 tiebreaker, South Korea's regular starter Lee Sion (27 Samsung Life Insurance) stepped up to take the point. His opponent was Bruna Alexandre, the "one-armed table tennis player" who has garnered a lot of attention at the tournament. Ision, who has played every match of the tournament without taking a break, controlled the court extensively and unleashed heavy attacks from all over the court to secure important points. Heading into the match, Ision said he wanted to be at 100%, and it looks like he's getting closer to that goal.

Despite losing the match, Paralympian Bruna Alexandre produced an emotional moment. The Brazilian Paralympian received a huge ovation when he took on Isião in the center of the field, using one arm to lift a lob. There are two Brunas in Brazil. "Bruna" means "shining" in Brazilian. He shined in this tournament with his skill and brilliance. The crowd in the stadium cheered for both Ishion and Bruna with loud applause.

The final match of the day was played by Jeon Ji-hee in the second match. Bruna, who had roared to victory over Korean favorite Shin Yubin in the first match, was no match for the left-handed attacker. From game two on, most of her swings were off the court. She couldn't get a handle on Jeon's attacks, and her own shots found the net, and that was the end of the match. There was no need for Shin Yubin to come out again in game five, as she was ready to lick her wounds from the first game.

With the win, the Korean women's team advanced to the quarterfinals and qualified for the team competition in Paris. Brazil, who played all of their matches with just three players, were unable to capitalize on their impressive run to the round of 16. South Korea will face world No. 1 China in the quarterfinals on Sunday. They made it through the round of 16 with ease, but their biggest test awaits.

After the match, head coach Oh Kwang-heon said, "We came out with the expectation that we might lose one match. The players did their job well. It's true that Shin Yubin is under a lot of pressure from the attention. Her game is getting better and better, so I think she will be even better tomorrow. Now that we've qualified for the Olympics, we'll go into China with a lighter heart. This competition is one of the steps on the way to the Olympics. We want to understand the strengths and weaknesses of our athletes and prepare for the Olympics, and tomorrow's match against China will be an important part of that process."

After the match, the players were also determined. Jeon Jeon-hee, who fulfilled her ace responsibilities with another two points, said, "I'm grateful that so many people came and supported us today. We will do our best to play well in the remaining matches. I was a little early, but I thought I had to face them anyway, so I will play with a challenging mindset."

Shin Yubin said, "I wanted to show a good match rather than feeling the pressure of attention, but it's unfortunate that I couldn't do that. I'll try to recover quickly and show a good performance."

Ision added, "I'm playing without pressure because I have Jihee and Yubin with me. I've been talking to Hyo Bin and Eun Hye and it's giving me strength. I think Coach Oh is also leading us with good leadership. I will continue to work hard with everyone so that we can continue to have good results."

It's no secret that the Korean women's national team is a weak team compared to China. It's no secret that the Korean women's team's journey to the Busan World Championships may come to an end on the 22nd in the quarterfinals. But even so, the players are determined to play harder and give their best. The Korean women"s team"s quarterfinal match is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on the 22nd.
