South Korea’s table tennis team, Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee, are disappointed after losing to China’s Chen Meng and Wang Man-yu in the women’s team semifinals of the 2024 Paris Olympics table tennis held at South Paris Arena 4 in Paris, France on the 8th (Korean time).

The Korean women’s table tennis team failed to advance to the finals of the team event, failing to overcome the ‘strongest’ China. The

women’s table tennis team, consisting of Jeon Ji-hee (32, Mirae Asset Securities), Shin Yu-bin (20, Korean Air), and Lee Eun-hye (29, Korean Air), lost to China with a match score of 0-3 in the semifinals of the women’s team table tennis event at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at the South Paris Arena in Paris, France on the 8th (Korean time).

The women’s table tennis team, whose best achievement was the bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games, attempted to advance to the finals for the first time that day, but was blocked by China. It was a one-sided defeat, with only one set won in the doubles.

Korea will play for the bronze medal against the other semifinalists, Germany and Japan, at 5 p.m. on the 10th.

Korea hoped for an upset in the first doubles, led by the recently rising combination of Jeon Ji-hee and Shin Yu-bin. However, they could not overcome the Chinese combination of Chen Meng and Wang Man-yu. Korea was

shaken by China’s backhand attacks in the beginning and was dragged down, losing two sets in a row, 4-11 and 5-11.

In the third set, they won 11-9 with a bold serve, taking the first set for the first time, but that was the end of their pursuit. They lost the first doubles 1-3 (4-11 5-11 11-9 9-11) after losing two consecutive points in the fourth set, 9-9. Having lost the first doubles, which they were relatively most confident in, Korea faltered thereafter. In the second singles, Lee Eun-hye was defeated by Sun Ying-sa 0-3 (5-11 1-11 3-11), putting Korea in a difficult position. Then, ‘eldest sister’ Jeon Ji-hee also lost to Wang Man-yu 0-3 (3-11 7-11 3-11) in the third singles, leaving Korea without winning a single game. 파워볼사이트
