Fortune-telling in Busan World Table Tennis Championships

Houston 202 1 World Table Tennis Championships is in full swing. At the same time of the competition, ITTF also announced an important decision to officially announce the host city of the 2024 World Table Tennis Championships, namely Busan, South Korea.

Prior to this, Busan had successfully bid for the 2020 World Table Tennis Championships, which was postponed three times because of the COVID-19 epidemic, and was finally cancelled completely. Although Ryu Seung-min, president of Korean Table Tennis Association and former Olympic champion, is exhausted, he is helpless. Now Busan has won the right to host the World Table Tennis Championships again. Congratulations to Ryu Seung-min!

As we all know, South Korea's table tennis strength is very good, ranking first in Asia and even in the world. It has won many Olympic and world championships and defeated many powerful table tennis teams, including Guo Ping. But even so, South Korea has never hosted the World Table Tennis Championships, so the 2020 Busan World Table Tennis Championships has become a matter in their hearts.

However, everyone knows the later story: affected by the epidemic, the Korean Table Tennis Association "struggled" for several months and finally could not bear it, and finally announced the suspension of the World Table Tennis Championships. Shortly thereafter, Ryu Seung-min, president of the Korean Table Tennis Association, also infected COVID-19. Fortunately, it doesn't matter later. What bad luck

Probably out of sympathy for the Korean table tennis community, Busan's bid to host the 2024 World Table Tennis Championships was very smooth and soon stood out from the competition. Ryu Seung-min is also very grateful to say:

As an Olympic champion who once dominated the stadium, Ryu Seung-min broke her heart for the Busan World Table Tennis Championships last year. Finally, he drew water with a sieve. He will naturally have infinite regrets in his heart. Fortunately, history has given the Korean table tennis community a new opportunity, so now he is full of energy and looking forward to hosting this competition (just don't know if he will be the president of the Table Tennis Association in three years).

Although Ryu Seung-min used to be the arch-rival of table tennis, he is also a very caring person. He donated money to the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area in China and visited seriously ill table tennis players in other countries. So I want to send him a congratulations, hoping that he can continue to contribute to the development of table tennis: Come on!
