The Korean Table Tennis Selection Tournament being held in Gangwon Province, South Korea, ended the first stage of the competition, and Jang Woo-jin, who finally won the men's team championship, and Kim Na-young, the champion of the women's team, took the lead in qualifying for the 2022 World Championships team and Asian Games, especially the 17-year-old Kim Na-young, who ranked first in the women's team selection competition with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, becoming another Korean girl who appeared in the world series after Shin Yu-bin, this competition lacks the two main Olympic forces of Tian Zhixi and Shin Yubin, and the fierce competition is not reduced at all. World champion Liang Xiayin and Xu Xiaoyuan, the top 8 in women's singles at last year's World Table Tennis Championships, both failed to stand out.
South Korea followed the Japanese table tennis team began to select the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games, according to the established rules of the Korean Table Tennis Association, as of March 15, the world's top 10 singles players, directly shortlisted for the World Table Tennis Championships and Asian Games list, although South Korea's first sister Tian Zhixi is currently ranked 11th in the world, but around March 15, ranking 10th, pressing the line to take the lead in the free selection. South Korea's youngster Shin Yu-bin, who was pushed by the Tokyo Olympics, was destined to miss the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games due to injury, the 18-year-old girl was once one of the few young players in the international table tennis world in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, but the real results were also generalized, and she did not win the top 8 results of the competition, and the Tokyo Olympic Games lost 2-4 to Hong Kong's Du Kaixuan in the third round.
After the lack of 2 Main Players of the Tokyo Olympics in this selection tournament, there are still Well-known players such as Liang Xiayin, Xu Xiaoyuan, Kim He-young, Lee Shi-win and other well-known players to participate, and it is more surprising that the final winner in the round robin is actually 17-year-old high school student Kim Na-young, who has just entered the first year of high school and ranked about 500 in the world, with almost no experience in international competitions, according to her own attitude, but only focusing on participation, and the result is unintentional willow shade, becoming the second South Korean female player to qualify for two major events after Tian Zhixi.
The South Korean men's team is a traditional asian strong team, in this year's Oman Challenge, Singapore Grand Slam, Doha Challenge in Lin Zhongxun and Ahn Jae-hyun have the potential to succeed, in the men's singles field consecutive victories, many times into the top 8, the result of this selection tournament champion was finally won by Zhang Yuzhen, Zhang Yuzhen is the 2020 World Cup top 4, the world ranking once ranked 11th, is a brother of Korean men's table tennis, but the performance of the past year is average, only achieved the men's doubles runner-up of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, The first 8 games of this selection tournament locked in the championship with a total victory record, and if there is no accident, Ahn Jae-hyun and Li Zhongxun and Lee Sang-so also have a great chance to qualify for the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games.
The next second stage of the selection competition is not much suspense for the Korean men's team, but the Korean women's team is more suspenseful, the veterans Liang Xiayin and Xu Xiaoyuan do not have any advantages to speak of, the inner volume is more serious, naturalized general Kim He-young or the first time to join Tian Zhixi in the international competition.
