Yoo Ye-rin (16) and Heo Ye-rim (14, Hwaseong City Gongja Youth Team), the rising stars of Korean women's table tennis, advanced to the round of 16 in the singles of the 2024 International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) World Youth Championship.

Yoo Hae-rin, the daughter of "table tennis legend" coach Yoo Nam-kyu, made a come-from-behind victory over Lulu Masat (9-117-111 11-7 11-6 11-4 11-4 11-5) in the first round of the women's under-19 (U-19) singles in Helsingborg, Sweden, on the 27th (Korea time).

Yoo Hae-rin, the main player in the team's victory, lost the first set 9-11 after a close game and lost the second set 7-11, putting her on the verge of a crisis, but she regained stability from the third set and won four sets down with a bold attack to win the game. 메이저사이트

In addition, Heo Ye-rim reached the second round with a 4-2 (10-12 11-9 11-7 11-8 5-11 11-9) come-from-behind victory over Aoba Takahashi of Japan in the round of 32 in the women's under-15 (U-15) Kadet division.

Heo got off to a shaky start by conceding the first set after a close deuce match, but pushed Takahashi to win the third set from the second set. However, due to her negligence for a while in the fifth set, Heo lost 5-11 and allowed pursuit, but ended the sixth set 11-9.
