Nightline first seat, I am with the Tokyo Paralympic players who impressed us with their indomitable challenge. You have come.
Q. After returning home from Tokyo…
How have you been?
[Yoon Ji-yu / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: After returning from Japan, doing a corona test, quarantine for two days, and now back to the team.]

[Yoon Ji-yu / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: I ate it for dinner on the day after the match.]
Q. After Rio, you won a medal for the second time in a row… How do you feel?
[Jiyu Yoon / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: Now that I have won a medal, I feel good, but it seems that I am very regretful that I did not go to the final.]
Q. There must have been some good
things
?
[Jiyu Yoon/Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: Last time I lost to a Croatian player once, and I won that player in the quarterfinals and went up to the game well, but the quarterfinals seems to be a bit disappointing.]
Q. Bronze medal at the end of a close battle... How did you feel?
[Yoon Ji-Yu / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: Originally, when I was going to Tokyo from Korea, I set my goal for the gold medal in the individual competition, but if the Chinese player won, I could aim for the gold medal, but it seems a bit regretful.]
Q. The older sisters and the team team… breathing?
[Yoon Ji-Yoo / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: I think the age difference is more than 10 years, so they are older sisters, so they take care of me and have a lot to learn. (That's right. Are you good?) Yes, you're good.]
Q. In the individual match, we will meet again in the team match... How was it?
[Jiyu Yoon / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: I dreamed of a revenge match, but after winning, I feel a bit regretful because I have a weak back at the end and I keep losing.]
Q. Do you do customized training for each opponent?
[Yoon Ji-yu / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: I think we need to prepare by analyzing a lot of what kind of service he puts in, or what strategy he takes at a certain score by watching a lot of video of the game.]
Q. National team The youngest in… What's good about being young?
[Yoon Ji-Yu / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: I am young, so I think I have a bit more ambition than older people and I think I may have more confidence.]
Q. You don't usually see a change in your expression?
[Yoon Ji-yu / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: I don't see much on my face, but it seems like I'm upset when I lose. Still, ping pong has a little psychological effect, so poker face seems to be an advantage in some ways.]

[Yoon Ji-yu / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: During Rio, my mom followed me, but I couldn't follow in Tokyo because of Corona, so it was difficult.]
Q. At the time of the Rio Paralympic… Did you give up high school?

[Ji-Yoo Yoon / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: Table tennis seems to give me energy.]
Q. What kind of player do you want to remain in the future?
[Jiyu Yoon / Paralympic Table Tennis National Team: Now I want to become a player who is good at everything in various fields. In the future, I would like to win some gold medals in individual events at the Paris Olympics. There is a lot left when I think that there are 3 years left, but since there is an Asian Games next year, I don't think the preparation time is that long.]
