Table Tennis Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee, joint gold medal winner in 21 years at the Asian Games

Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee win gold medals after winning the North-South confrontation.

Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee, who won the gold medal after defeating North Korea's Cha Soo-young and Park Soo-kyung in the table tennis women's doubles final at the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Archer Canal Sports Park Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China on the 2nd, are posing after the award ceremony.

2023 was the year when the 21-year-old 'Asian Games gold medal' problem in Korean table tennis was resolved.

Shin Yu-bin (19, Korean Air) and Jeon Ji-hee (31, Mirae Asset Securities) won the women's doubles gold medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games that closed last October.

It was the first Asian Games gold medal for a Korean player in 21 years since the 2002 Busan Games.

In addition, Korean table tennis boosted its pride by single-handedly blocking China's sweep of seven table tennis gold medals.

Shin Yu-bin, who has been receiving attention as a 'prodigy', overcame heavy pressure and a wrist injury that could have become chronic, and won her first all-around gold medal in her life.

Jeon Ji-hee, who has been active as Korea's 'ace' for a long time, but has repeatedly faced hardships at the Olympics and Asian Games, relieved her resentment in the twilight of her career by teaming up with her niece, Shin Yu-bin, to win the championship.

Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee ‘It’s a gold medal’

Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee are celebrating together after winning the gold medal after defeating North Korea's Cha Soo-young and Park Soo-kyung in the table tennis women's doubles final at the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Archer Canal Sports Park Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China on the 2nd.

The joy of winning was doubled because the content of the game was refreshing.

Jeon Ji-hee and Shin Yu-bin met in the semifinals with Japan's Harimoto Miwa and Kihara Miyu team, who had jumped to the '0' ranking as the favorites for the championship by defeating the 'strongest' Chinese group.

Although they were expected to be outmatched, the resourcefulness of the women's national team coach Oh Gwang-heon, who called for 'slow table tennis' to catch them off guard, worked, and the team of Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee won 4-1. 메이저사이트 백링크

Jeon Ji-hee and Shin Yu-bin then faced North Korea's Cha Soo-young and Park Soo-kyung, who made their way to the finals by storm despite appearing on the international stage for the first time.

The 'Dong-Gap Duo' overcame the pressure of the North-South confrontation and continued to hit 'golden smashes', ending the game with a 4-1 victory.

Korean table tennis, which continued to decline in the 2010s, finished the Hangzhou Games with good results, with one gold medal, two silver medals, and five bronze medals, thanks to the great performances of Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee.

Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee are preparing for the 'golden challenge' again ahead of 2024, when the Busan Team World Championships and the Paris Olympics will be held. 슬롯
