South Korea’s table tennis team players Shin Yu-bin and Lim Jong-hoon are celebrating after scoring a point in the round of 16 match against Germany in the table tennis mixed doubles at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at South Paris Arena 4 in Paris, France on the 27th (Korean time).
The Korean table tennis mixed doubles pair of Lim Jong-hoon (Korea Exchange) and Shin Yu-bin (Korean Air) have started their quest for a medal with a complete victory in their first match at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin won 4-0 (12-10 11-9 12-10 11-6) in the round of 16 of the table tennis mixed doubles against Chiou Dang and Nina Mittelham (Germany) at the South Paris Arena 4 in Paris, France on the 27th (Korean time).
Korea’s table tennis team is aiming for an Olympic medal for the first time in 12 years since the silver medal in the men’s team event at the 2012 London Games.
Recently, Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin, who have been consistently participating in international competitions and have improved their sense of the game and teamwork, have easily advanced to the round of 16. Germany’s checks and pursuits were not easy, but they showed their strength at every critical point and won without giving up a single game.
In the first game, they seemed to be not warmed up at the beginning and were down 0-3, but they scored the first point due to an opponent’s mistake and then scored three consecutive points to gain momentum.
Then, at 10-10 deuce, Shin Yu-bin and Lim Jong-hoon scored consecutive points with bold attacks at the critical point, winning the first game with a comeback victory.
They gave up the lead at the beginning of the second game as well, but they did not waver. At the 10-9 game point, Lim Jong-hoon successfully scored with a spectacular attack where he flew his body to save a deep ball. Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin, who also won the third game with a comeback victory, finished the game with Lim Jong-hoon’s backhand top spin in the fourth game. Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin will compete against Ovidio Ionescu and Bernadette Soetz (Romania) for a spot in the semifinals at 11 p.m. on the 28th. 카지노사이트
