However, Yu Mengyu has encountered death threats in Singapore, because of the poor results, some fans have written to her - why don't you die, quickly give up your position to young people!
Yu Mengyu is 32 years old and has won the U17 runner-up in domestic competitions. In 2006, Yu Mengyu, who was only 17 years old at the time, chose Singapore to play. Since then, Yu Mengyu has been in Singapore. For Yu Mengyu personally, this is the right choice. After all, if you stay in China, it is difficult for Yu Mengyu to become the main force of national table tennis. But in the Singapore team, Yu Mengyu got a lot of opportunities, the world ranking, she came to the 9th place at the highest time! At the Tokyo Olympics, Yu Mengyu performed well, 8 into 4 knockouts, she defeated Ishikawa Yoshijun 4-1, reached the top 4, and although she lost to Chen Meng and Ito Mimachi, she only finished 4th, but this result was also remarkable.
From the outside world's point of view, Yu Mengyu went to Singapore to help each other. But Yu Mengyu also suffered death threats from Singaporean fans. "In 2017, I received death threats! At that time, I couldn't accept it, and some fans wrote to me, and I had just had surgery on my shoulder and was very sad. I played for Singapore at the World Table Tennis Championships and lost 2 points against Hungary, so I was threatened. Yu Mengyu said.
Yu Mengyu also mentioned the remarks of the fans, and the extreme fans wrote in the letter, "You are so old that you still have to play, how can you not die!" Occupy a place and do not give way to young players. ”
In fact, Yu Mengyu had already mentioned to the coach that she had a shoulder injury, but she still had no choice but to play, lost the game, and was attacked.
Today, Yu Mengyu has retired, but his table tennis career has no regrets. In particular, in 2010, she also won the women's team championship at the Moscow World Table Tennis Championships with the Singapore team and became the world champion.
