The Korean Table Tennis Association is about to carry out a new national team selection, because the South Korean team has no results in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and the performance of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships is not good, which makes the Korean table tennis executives quite dissatisfied. The new national team is expected to select more young players to enter, and the veterans face great competitive pressure. However, the national team has not yet begun the official selection, but there is a bad news, 17-year-old main player Shen Yubin missed the national team selection due to old wrist injury.
Shin Yu-bin is one of the main players of the Korean women's team and the strongest player in the post-00 generation. As early as 2019, she partnered Cho Dacheng to win the Czech Open Mixed Doubles title by defeating the Japanese table tennis Olympic champion combination Ofe Mizutani Hayabusa/Ito Mishimasa. Subsequently, he participated in the singles competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games, but unfortunately encountered Du Kaixuan, who played an extraordinary role, and fought hard for six sets to stop the round of 32. Later, he lost to Han Ying in the Olympic team competition, and Shen Yubin's record in the Olympic Games was average.
After all, it is a young general under the age of 18, and it is understandable that Shen Yubin did not get good results. However, at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships held at the end of last year, Shen Yubin's wrist injury worsened, and he directly chose to retire, wasting an excellent exercise opportunity in his career. I thought that after the recuperation of the holiday, Shen Yubin's wrist injury would improve, but the recovery was not satisfactory. To this end, Shen Yubin can only temporarily withdraw from the national team selection competition, and not curing the wrist injury will affect his future career.
After withdrawing from the selection tournament, Shen Yubin decided not to qualify for the Chengdu Team World Table Tennis Championships in April and the Hangzhou Asian Games in September. The Team World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games are both major competitions, and Shen Yubin suddenly missed two good opportunities to compete for results, which may affect his singles qualification for the Paris Olympic Games. It should be known that the South Korean team has always liked to speak with results, and Jung Young-sik did not qualify for the World Table Tennis Championships because of his poor results in the Olympic Games. According to Shen Yubin's current level of recovery, at least a year of treatment for wrist injuries will be wasted.
For the South Korean women's team, with The withdrawal of Shin Yubin from the national team, the competitiveness of the World Table Tennis Championships in Chengdu has declined. At present, The first sister of Han Ping Pong is Tian Zhixi, but the recent results are average, and it has long been not a member of the team who likes to beat the master in the cold. Whether it is national table tennis or japanese table tennis, it is easy to suppress Tian Zhixi. The other main players of the South Korean team, such as Choi Hyo-joo, Lee Shi-win, Xu Hyo-won, etc., were originally members of the team with average strength, and their explosive power was far less than that of Shin Yubin.
Han Ping-Pong has been looking forward to a breakthrough in the results of the three major competitions, but in the case of Shen Yubin's injury, the team encountered singapore teams, not to mention the stronger Chinese and Japanese teams. Although the South Korean team has always envied the rise of Japanese table tennis, the team naturally cannot achieve the goal of rising without reserve talents. If you want to reach the final battle, you also need to be discerning.
