Table Tennis Player Kim Kum Yong
  Kim Kum Yong started to learn how to play table tennis at the age of 6. She couldn't play it without standing on a footboard but she devoted herself to learning its basic techniques.
  Small and left-handed, she tried hard to find a reasonable way of training and games.
  As a result, she became one of the first three finishers in a national table tennis tournament held a few years later and grew to be a player of a sports team.
  Under the guidance of her coach, she strove to acquire not only a unique yet sharp and powerful offensive power but also the quick moving and high short-distance defense capabilities.
  She distinguished herself in the mixed doubles of the 2024 Asian Table Tennis Championships. Especially, she won the women's singles, causing a great sensation all over the world.

 

  Kim Kum Yong proved successful in the mixed doubles of table tennis of the 33rd Olympics and the women's singles of the 2024 Asian Table Tennis Championships. She is now training hard to hit a higher goal.
