Korea's ace Woojin Jang (Mirae Asset Securities) and Japan's 'prodigy' Tomokazu Harimoto face off in the table tennis Korea-Japan match for the Olympic bronze medal.
Sang-eun Oh, coach of the men's table tennis team, submitted an order for Woo-jin Jang to play in the doubles and 4s ahead of the 3rd and 4th place match between Japan and Japan in the men's table tennis team match at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to be held at the Tokyo Gymnasium in Japan on the 6th.
Japan manager Yosuke Kurashima also drew up an order to not put Harimoto in the doubles group and leave him to play two singles matches.
As a result, after the first doubles of Lee Sang-soo (Samsung Life Insurance), Jung Young-sik (Mirae Asset Securities) and Mizutani Jun-Niwa Koki, a match was created in which Jang Woo-jin and Harimoto played an 'ace head-to-head' in the second single.
Next, Jung Young-sik and Niwa will face each other in the 3-s, Jang Woo-jin and Mizutani in the 4-s, and Lee Sang-soo and Harimoto in the 5-s.
