On April 20, Beijing time, the South Korean table tennis team's World Table Tennis Championships, Asian Games Trials have ended the first stage of the battle, only 16-year-old young Kim Na-young became a big dark horse, 7 wins and 1 loss upset to get the tickets, and after the game she also said her own bold words and harsh words: I hope to challenge myself on the bigger Olympic stage, in 2024 in Paris to win gold medals!
As we all know, in recent years, the young players of the Japanese table tennis team have emerged in an endless stream, Ito Mimachi, Hirano Miyu, Hayata Hina has been able to threaten the main force of national table tennis, and Zhang Benmeiwa, born in 2008, has also defeated Chinese athletes many times in recent times, and even exploded an 11-0 score difference. Relatively speaking, the new star training speed of the Korean team is obviously much slower, but there are also eye-catching achievements.
Prior to this, South Korean women's table tennis sent 17-year-old Shin Yu-bin to participate in singles and team competitions at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, and the Chinese and Japanese national teams did not have such young players. But unfortunately, Shen Yubin soon suffered a serious injury at the end of last year, and as a result, he withdrew from the Houston World Table Tennis Championships before playing, and then hung up the exemption card until now.
However, just when everyone thought that the Korean rising star was about to collapse, Kim Na-young stood out in the World Table Tennis Championships and asian Games Selection Competition and got the tickets to participate, which shows that after Shin Yubin, the South Korean team has a potential opponent of national table tennis, which is indeed indispensable!
At present, It seems that Jin Naying is indeed a malleable talent: first of all, she is very young, after all, she is 1 year younger than Shen Yubin, and only graduated from junior high school last year; secondly, she is mature in technology and fierce in playing; and finally, she has outstanding physical fitness, although she is only 16 years old, but she has a height of 1 meter 70, and there are basically no shortcomings of many players of the same type who are bulky and slow, which is very rare.
In fact, just in March this year, Jin Naying and the national table tennis player Qi Fei had a fight, when Jin Naying led 1-0, 2-1, and the 10-8 lead in the decider was reversed, but this can only show that her psychological quality and competition experience are not enough, and the technical words are very mature - Ziffy is 5 years older than her after all, and she is still a rare direct shooting athlete, Jin Naying is not familiar with it and is normal.
At present, the national table tennis has also been born in 2003 Xiang Peng, born in 2004, Born in 2004, Lin Shidong, born in 2005, has been reused, and won many first-line masters, but the competition in China's table tennis is too fierce, so they may now be able to get the opportunity to participate in the Asian Games like Xue Fei 4 years ago, but the World Table Tennis Championships, the Olympic Games? That's still a little too far away.
Many people often say that Liu Guoliang and the coaching staff are not as important to young players as Japan and South Korea, but in all fairness, this is also determined by the overall strength of the team: there are too many talents in the Chinese team, and the main lineup is often gradually formed after many years of testing. The Japanese and Korean teams have a thin family foundation, of course, it is relatively easier to toss a little.
So can this Jin Naying become the second Shin Yubin? Let's wait for the Asian Games and the World Table Tennis Championships to kick off!
