2022 is the official opening of the Paris Olympic cycle, this year's international table tennis competition is mainly the world table tennis team competition and the Asian Games, Japan and South Korea two major table tennis rivals are around the two major competitions for the selection of the competition, the Japan Table Tennis Association stipulates that the players who won the men's and women's singles championships in the all-Japan championships will be qualified to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, and the South Korean team is a special selection competition for the two competitions. However, Shin Yubin, the main force of South Korean women's table tennis, had to withdraw from the selection tournament due to a serious wrist injury, and it was determined that he would not be able to participate in this year's World Table Tennis Championships and Asian Games!
The 18-year-old Shin Yu-bin is a potential rising star in the international women's table tennis scene in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, and her competition with Ito Mimachi at the 2019 Open is very strong, as the future star of the South Korean women's team, Shin Yubin also participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games and the Us World Table Tennis Championships. During the preparations for the Tokyo Olympics, Shen Yubin's wrist was injured, and he insisted on taking the injury to the team but still lost 2-4 to Hong Kong, China, and failed to reach the women's singles round of 16. 2021 Houston World Table Tennis Championships Shen Yubin in the women's singles match and lost to Luxembourg's Ni Xialian 3-4, wrist injuries are getting more and more serious, had to withdraw from the mixed doubles and women's doubles competition, to know that Shen Yubin / Tian Zhixi is the number one seed in the women's doubles of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, it is a pity to quit the game early.
The 2022 Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships and the Hangzhou Asian Games will be highly valued by the Korean Table Tennis Association, and it is planned to select the participating lineups by way of selection competitions, according to the direct finalists of the world's top 20 singles according to the Korean table tennis regulations, Lee Sang-so, Tian Zhixi, Jeong Young-sik, Jang Woo-jin and Xu Hyo-won directly qualified for the international competition. And the star of hope Shen Yubin can only compete for the direct quota of 3 women's teams through the way of selection, according to the strength of Shen Yubin, it is only a matter of time before he gets the direct qualification, but unfortunately, for the sake of physical health, Shen Yubin was forced to give up the selection competition, which is equivalent to missing the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games. Through the results of international competitions since 2019, although Shen Yubin has achieved little, Shen Yubin has not yet reached the achievements made by Ito When she was 18 years old, and she needs the experience of the competition to accelerate growth, she now only has the speed advantage, lacks absolute strength and explosiveness, and is not yet qualified to challenge the supremacy of Chinese women's table tennis.
Korean women's table tennis was also the number one opponent of national table tennis in the 1980s and 1990s, Xuan Jinghe and Liang Yingzi once helped the Korean women's table tennis team defeat the Chinese team to win the women's team, women's doubles, women's singles world championships, and the current Korean women's team has the strength of the world's women's table tennis at most 8. With the withdrawal of Shin Yubin, the South Korean women's team faced a worse situation in the world championships and the asian games team competition, the South Korean team only Tian Zhixi and Xu Xiaoyuan, two members of the world ranking singles top 20, in terms of absolute strength or Ito Mimako has a big gap, although Tian Zhixi is the number one main force, but she rarely reached the final four in singles, can only be said to be in vain, and Xu Xiaoyuan, who scored the top 8 in the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, also achieved good results by good signing luck. The other players of the South Korean women's team, such as Lee Shi-win and Choi Hyo-joo, are at most second- and third-rate, and it is probably unrealistic to win medals in the women's team at the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games.
