The women’s table tennis team consisting of Shin Yu-bin, Jeon Ji-hee, and Lee Eun-hye advanced to the quarterfinals.
The women’s team national team defeated Brazil 3-1 (3-0. 2-3, 3-0, 3-0) in the round of 16 of the women’s team table tennis event at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at the South Paris Arena in Paris, France on the 5th (local time) and advanced to the quarterfinals.
The Brazilian team that faced Korea consisted of siblings Bruna Takahashi and Giulia Takahashi and Bruna Alexandre, who plays table tennis with only her left arm, not her right.
Among them, Bruna Takahashi is a skilled player ranked 20th in the world.
Another athlete, Bruna Alexandre, who competes with one arm, is a disabled athlete who has the skills to compete in both able-bodied and Paralympic Games.
However, the Korean national team beat Brazil without difficulty.
The pair of Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee, who started as the first runners, easily won 11-6, 11-5, 11-8 over the pair of Giulia Takahagi and Alexandre.
Lee Eun-hye, who made her Olympic debut as the second runner-up, lost 2-3 (8-11, 11-9, 11-9, 8-11, 4-11) in a close match against Bruna, but Jeon Ji-hee, who appeared as the third runner-up, defeated Giulia Takahashi 11-7, 11-4, 11-2 to regain the lead.
Lee Eun-hye, who returned to the fourth match, received the opponent’s ball with agility, unlike the second match, and defeated Alexandre 3-0 (11-8, 11-5, 11-6) to confirm her advance to the quarterfinals.
The Korean team, which has advanced to the quarterfinals, will play the winner of the Hong Kong-Sweden match in the semifinals.
