Shin Yubin (copyright) and Jeon Ji-hee (Mirae Asset Securities), the women's table tennis “golden duo” who won the Hangzhou 2023 Asian Games together, have a chance to win the World Table Tennis (WTT) Wang Zhong Wang.

The WTT Finals Fukuoka 2024, which will be held at the Kitakyushu Gymnasium in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, from April 20 to 24, will feature China's Fan Zhenndong (World No. 3) and Chen Meng (World No. 4), who won the men's and women's singles gold medals at this year's Paris Olympics.

The duo won both the singles and team titles in Paris, leading China to a two-title sweep of all events.

Chen Meng, who won back-to-back Olympic women's singles titles at Tokyo 2020 and Paris, has not competed in an ITTF-organized event since Paris.

Chen Meng's absence means that the world No. 1 women's doubles pairing of Chen Meng-Wang Man Yu (No. 2) will not be able to compete. 메이저사이트

As a result, the world No. 2 duo of Shin Yubin and Jeon Jeon-hee will be the top seed in women's doubles.

The duo were 1-3 against China in the semifinals of the women's team event at the Paris Olympics, including a 3-1 loss to Chen Meng-Wang Man Yu.

The WTT Finals Fukuoka, meanwhile, is a royalty-free event where only players with high ranking points are invited to compete, with only 16 players invited in the men's and women's singles and eight in the men's and women's doubles.

Shin Yubin (World No. 11) and Jeon Ji-hee (World No. 16) will be competing in the women's singles event.

Jang Woo-jin (World No. 15 - SEA) is the only Korean male competing in the singles.
