[Asian Games] Crybaby in Tokyo, Ace in Hangzhou… Shin Yu-bin, Who has Grown a Bit, Lost to the ‘Strongest’ Sun Ying-sha and Won her Third Bronze Medal in Hangzhou... Challenge to the Doubles Final Tomorrow

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which was her first international competition two years ago, Shin Yu-bin (19, Korean Air) cried.

In the round of 32 of the women's singles, Shin Yu-bin, who was ranked 85th in the world at the time, lost two games to Du Hoi Kem (Hong Kong), who was ranked 70 places higher than her, and then leveled the match at 2-2.

However, they were unable to overcome Du Hoi Kem in the advanced competition, and were ultimately eliminated. 스포츠토토

Shin Yu-bin couldn't get over her anger and cried during her interview.

Over the next two years, Shin Yu-bin went through a lot.

Due to a wrist injury, he had to undergo surgery twice, and because of this, he faced a situation where he could not participate in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games selection competition.

Fortunately, the Asian Games were postponed for a year due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and the team proudly won the Taegeuk mark in the newly held selection match.

At the Durban World Championships held last May, she won a silver medal in women's doubles with Jeon Ji-hee (Mirae Asset Securities).

It has been 30 years since the current Korean Racing Authority coach Hyun Jeong-hwa won the gold medal at the 1993 Gothenburg Games that a Korean athlete reached the finals in the women's individual world championships.

Shin Yu-bin, who has overcome many hardships and grown, now stands tall as the ace of Korean women's table tennis.

She has now grown not only in her skills but also in her 'heart'.

Shin Yu-bin was defeated 0-4 by the 'strongest' Sun Ying-sha (China) in the table tennis women's singles semifinals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Archangel Canal Sports Park Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China on the 1st, and had to be content with a bronze medal.

Even though I lost, I didn't cry this time.

Shin Yu-bin passed by her common reporting area (mixed zone) with a calm expression.

When she stood in front of the Korean reporters, she asked, "Doesn't your arm hurt?" She tried to collect the cell phones that the reporters held out to record and hold them up.

Shin Yu-bin held about 10 cell phones in her hand, but when reporters continued to dissuade her, she gave them back.

She is Shin Yu-bin, who felt sorry for her the day before when several reporters in the mixed zone complained that she was having a hard time because of her murderous reporting schedule.

Shin Yu-bin said of her thoughts on the game, "I think I did well.

Still, I feel more disappointed because I think there were games I could have won."

On this day, Shin Yu-bin was ahead 10-5 in her 3 games.

However, after a timeout for Sun Ying Sa, she caught up with 5 points.

In the end, Game 3 ended with Sun Yingsha's 14-12 victory.

Shin Yu-bin said, "I focused on my strategy rather than thinking about being caught up," but she shook her head, saying, "But it didn't work out..."

Shin Yu-bin has lost all 5 matches against Sun Ying-sha.

In these five games, Shin Yu-bin did not win a single game of her own.

The gap in her skills was very large.

Shin Yu-bin won three bronze medals in this competition.

On the 2nd, she will take on the final challenge of advancing to the finals in the women's doubles, where she will be paired with Jeon Ji-hee (Mirae Asset Securities).

In this tournament's women's doubles, the semifinals were made without a Chinese group for the first time in 57 years.

Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee will face off against Harimoto Miwa and Kihara Miyu in the semifinals.

On the other side of the bracket, North Korea's Cha Soo-young and Park Soo-kyung will face India's Sutirtha Mukherni and Aihika Mukherjee.

If they win the Korea-Japan match, it is a 'lucky match' where they can aim for the gold medal without being eliminated.

Shin Yu-bin said, "I was originally destined not to come to this competition, but it is amazing and great to win a bronze medal like this," and pledged, "Now, I will change the color of the medal with Ji-hee."
