# '50% chance missed' Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin, couldn't avoid China First opponent is Germany


Table Tennis Mixed Doubles Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin

The mixed doubles table tennis pair of Lim Jong-hoon (27, Korea Exchange) and Shin Yu-bin (20, Korean Air), who are aiming for a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, did not have good luck. The best-case scenario of avoiding China until the semifinals, which we had hoped for, did not come true.

The draw for the Paris Olympic table tennis draw was held on the 25th (Korean time) at Arena 4 in South Paris, France, and the draw for Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin was confirmed. Lim Jong-hoon

and Shin Yu-bin, ranked 3rd in the world, received the 3rd seed and played against the 4th seed, Wong Chun-ting and Du Hoi Kem (Hong Kong).

The spots for the 1st seed Wang Chuqin-Sun Yingsha and the 2nd seed Tomokazu Harimoto-Hinazo Hayata have been decided, and the spots for Korea and Hong Kong will be decided by lottery.

If they had been seeded as the 2nd seed, they would have avoided meeting the 'strong championship contender' Chinese team until the finals, but there was a 50% chance that they would have avoided Lim Jong-hoon-Shin Yu-bin.

Ultimately, if Lim Jong-hoon-Shin Yu-bin survive from the round of 16, there is a very high possibility that they will meet the Chinese team in the semifinals.

On the other hand, Wong Chun-ting-Du Hoi-kem were lucky enough to avoid China until the finals despite being seeded as the 4th seed. The first opponent for the Lim Jong-hoon-Shin Yu-bin team will be Germany's Chiu Dang-Nina Mittelhamn (ranked 11th). If they win in the round of 16, they will face the winner of the Romanian-Australian team in the quarterfinals.

Korean table tennis, aiming for its first Olympic medal in 12 years since the 2012 London Games (silver men's team event), is pinning high hopes on the mixed doubles event at this tournament.

However, it is highly likely that they will face China in the semifinals, making it difficult to advance to the finals. If Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin lose in the semifinals, their opponents in the bronze medal match will likely be Hong Kong or Japan.

North Korea's Ri Jong-sik and Kim Geum-yeong will face the second-seeded Harimoto and Hayata in the round of 16. Their performance is shrouded in mystery as they do not participate in many international competitions.

Starting with the mixed doubles, all the matchups for each event, including the men's and women's singles and the men's and women's team events, have been confirmed. Jang Woo-jin (29, Mirae Asset Securities), who received the 8th seed in the men's singles, will face Daniel Gonzalez (Puerto Rico) in the round of 64. Jo Dae-sung (22, Samsung Life), who is also competing, will face the winner of Kanak Jah (USA) - Vladislav Ursu (Moldova) in the round of 64. If Jang Woo-jin advances to the quarterfinals, he will face the world's number 1 seed, Wang Chuqin, and if Jo Dae-sung advances to the round of 16, he will face the number 2 seed, Fan Zhendong (China). Shin Yu-bin, the number 4 seed in the women's singles, will face Melissa Tapper (Australia) in the round of 64. Jeon Ji-hee (32, Mirae Asset Securities) will face Fu Yu (Portugal). If Shin Yu-bin advances to the semifinals, she will face the number 2 seed, Chen Meng (China), while Jeon Ji-hee will face the number 1 seed, world number 1 Sun Yingsha, in the round of 16. The women's team event featuring Shin Yu-bin, Jeon Ji-hee, and Lee Eun-hye (29, Korean Air) will face Brazil in the round of 16. This matchup could also see China in the semifinals.

The first opponent for the men's team event, which Jang Woo-jin, Lim Jong-hoon, and Jo Dae-seong will be taking part in, is Croatia. However, if they win, they will face the winner of China and India in the quarterfinals, so it is expected to be a tough fight. The

table tennis competition at the Paris Olympics will begin with the mixed doubles and men's and women's singles on the 27th (local time), and will continue until August 10th for five gold medals. [카지노사이트](https://www.outlookindia.com/plugin-play/2023년-한국을-대표하는-카지노-사이트-best-10-news-326663
