Shin Yu-bin (Korean Air), who paired with Jeon Ji-hee (Mirae Asset Securities) in the women’s doubles at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and won the first gold medal in Korean table tennis in 21 years, made a golden return.
Shin Yu-bin returned to Korea through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 8th. Shin Yu-bin, wearing a light yellow windbreaker and a light pink backpack on her back, smiled brightly at the dozens of table tennis officials and fans who were waiting for her when the door to the arrival hall opened.
Shin Yu-bin won four medals at this tournament, including one gold medal and three bronze medals (women’s team, mixed doubles, and women’s singles). He said, “My goal was to win a medal in the Asian Games, and I am very happy that I won medals in all events, and I am very happy and grateful that I also won a gold medal.” I smiled brightly.
The pair of Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee (world no. 1) won the first Asian Games gold medal for a Korean player in 21 years in the women’s doubles at the Asian Games on the 2nd of this month. Shin Yu-bin immediately moved to Lanzhou, China to participate in the World Table Tennis (WTT) Star Contender and once again reached the finals with Jeon Ji-hee in the women’s doubles, but sprained her back during the round of 16 of the singles and withdrew after consulting with the coaches to prevent the injury from worsening. I chose to return home.
Shin Yu-bin said, “I felt pain while playing the game, but I wanted to prevent a more serious injury and prepare for the next game.” “My teammates on the national team were worried about me and advised me to take good care of my body.” She went on to say, “She has all these injuries that any athlete would have,” and she looked resolute, saying, “I will make sure she doesn’t get hurt more seriously and I will train her even harder.”
Shin Yu-bin said, “If the Asian Games had been held last year, I would not have been able to participate, but the opportunity came and I played without regrets.” He added, “As every player’s concentration changes in a big competition, it was a great experience for me to play in important competitions in the future.” He added, “A good result. He pledged, “We will develop further as we make progress.”
Regarding her celebration of drawing hearts and shooting arrows after winning the gold medal in women’s doubles at the Asian Games, she smiled shyly and said, “I thought about it in case I won the day before the game.” Shin Yu-bin said, “I don’t know yet if I will be able to compete in the Paris Olympics,” but she expressed her determination, saying, “I will prepare diligently so that I can have a game with no regrets.”
After the Lanzhou tournament, Shin Yu-bin will give up participating in the WTT Contender Muscat in Oman and the WTT Contender Antalya in Turkye until the 22nd (local time) and take a rest in Korea. After improving her condition in Korea, Shin Yu-bin plans to participate in the WTT Champions Frankfurt 2023, which will be held in Germany starting on the 29th local time.
