Among the 144 Korean players who participated in the Paris Olympics, 'Ppyak-ee' Shin Yu-bin (20, table tennis) had the 'longest' Olympics. Shin Yu-bin, the only Korean table tennis player to compete in mixed doubles, singles, and team events, played a total of 14 games over the course of 15 days from the 27th of last month (local time), the day after the opening ceremony, to the 10th, the day before the closing

ceremony. On the 10th, Shin Yu-bin played in her last game of the tournament, the women's team event 3rd and 4th place match, together with Jeon Ji-hee (32) and Lee Eun-hye (29), and defeated Germany 3-0 to win the bronze medal. This was Shin Yu-bin's second medal of the tournament, following the bronze medal she won in the mixed doubles with Lim Jong-hoon (27) on the 30th of last month.

It has been 32 years since Korea's table tennis players became 'multi-medalists' at the same Olympics, since Mirae Asset coach Kim Taek-soo (54) and Korea Racing Authority coach Hyun Jung-hwa (55) did so at the 1992 Barcelona Games. At that time, the two players returned with bronze medals in the men's and women's singles and doubles, respectively. Before that, the only player to have achieved such a record was Korea Exchange coach Yoo Nam-gyu (56), who won gold in the men's singles and bronze in the men's doubles at the 1988 Seoul Games.

Shin Yu-bin, who appeared on a TV program as a 'table tennis prodigy' at the age of 5, made her Olympic debut at the 2021 Tokyo Games. She was eliminated in the round of 32 in the women's singles and the quarterfinals in the team event. She also had to endure criticism that she was 'more famous outside the gym'. After undergoing surgery for a wrist stress fracture, there were concerns that she was 'hurrying to bloom and then losing too quickly'.

Now, no one in table tennis doubts Shin Yu-bin. Coach Kim Taek-soo, who is also the vice president of the Korea Table Tennis Association, said, "In Tokyo, I was worried that Yu-bin's cute image was highlighted more than her skills, but this time, she showed that she can become a star with her skills." Association President Yoo Seung-min (42), who gave the Korean national team a bronze medal in the team event as a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Athletes' Commission, also commented, "Compared to last year's Hangzhou Asian Games, Shin Yu-bin has grown evenly in mentality, physical strength, and skills." Chairman Yoo is the gold medalist in the men's singles at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Shin Yu-bin said, “I feel relieved because I was able to compete without any regrets. I feel relieved and (at the same time) fortunate.” She continued, “(It wasn’t that I didn’t feel any physical burden) but I couldn’t get tired because I wasn’t alone and my sisters were by my side. I tried to overcome more because I saw the medals in front of me. I think I used all my concentration.” After finishing the interview, Shin Yu-bin expressed regret to the reporters, saying, “Is this the last time we see each other?” and suggested taking a ‘group selfie’ first.

Jeon Ji-hee, a former member of the Chinese youth national team, won an Olympic medal in her third attempt as an individual and 13 years after becoming a naturalized citizen. Jeon Ji-hee, who competed in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, said, “I was happy because I fought without regrets on the Olympic stage.” When asked if she would compete in the next Olympics, Jeon Ji-hee said, “No,” to which Shin Yu-bin made everyone laugh by saying, “Sister, think about it carefully and say it again.”

Lee Eun-hye, who played as the first singles player throughout the team event at this tournament, is a player who naturalized from China to Korea at the age of 16. Former Korean youth team coach Yang Young-ja (60), who worked with coach Hyun Jung-hwa to win the gold medal in the women's doubles at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, noticed Lee Eun-hye's talent while working as a missionary in China and recommended that she come to Korea. Lee Eun-hye, who has been active on the Korean stage since 2013, finally earned the right to compete in this tournament at the end of June after going through the second round of selections. And she immediately won a medal on her first individual Olympic stage. It

has been 16 years since the Korean women's table tennis team won a bronze medal in the team event at the 2008 Beijing Games. There was no Olympic women's singles medal during this period.
