On April 2, 2022, there was good news in the table tennis world: according to Taiwan media reports, Lin Yunru, the Olympic bronze medalist and the 6th in the men's table tennis world ranking, turned negative after the previous day's positive test for the new crown, and then he will undergo the third test today (April 3), if he is still negative, he can be released from isolation and go home.
After seeing the results of Lin Yunru's second test from yang to yin, many fans also temporarily breathed a sigh of relief: I hope that Kobayashi is okay, otherwise the athletes of the national table tennis and other teams he contacted in March will also be in trouble!
Lin Yunru is very familiar to everyone, the super-first-class table tennis player of the Chinese Taipei team, who has defeated Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, Zhang Benzhihe and other famous players, and his strength is very strong.
Starting on March 7 this year, Lin Yunru ushered in his first international match in the Year of the Tiger, playing with Ma Long at the WTT Grand Slam in Singapore; after the Grand Slam, he appeared on march 18 and 25 at the WTT Doha Regular Season and WTT Doha Star Tournament, where he met national table tennis player Yuan Lizen and others.
According to reports, after the Doha Star Match on March 31, Lin Yunru returned to Taiwan via Thailand, and the result was positive for the new crown after getting off the plane, which immediately attracted the close attention of the table tennis circle, but zhuang Zhiyuan, the world champion of Chinese Taipei on the same plane, was negative, so many people had doubts about the test results.
Sure enough, in the second test on April 2, the result turned negative again, and the situation improved greatly, but because a third test was still to be carried out, it was not possible to make up a conclusion for the time being.
Because Lin Yunru had played against national table tennis players many times in March, including Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Yuan Licen, Sun Yingsha and others, his situation also attracted everyone's close attention.
However, considering that Lin Yunru mixed doubles and Wang Chuqin/ Sun Yingsha played on March 16, men's singles and Ma Long on March 17, and Yuan Licen on March 22, it has been more than a week since then, and the national table tennis has not yet come out of any bad news, so there should be no problem.
Finally, I wish Kobayashi peace and security, and at the same time hope that the epidemic will end as soon as possible and give everyone a healthy and safe world.
