중국에 0-3 패배…8강 탈락 고배
"중국·일본처럼 스피드 보강해야"

[런던=뉴시스]박윤서 기자 = 한국 남자 탁구 대표팀의 세계선수권대회 메달 도전이 8강에서 마감됐다. 보완점을 확인한 남자 대표팀은 다가오는 아시안게임에 시선을 고정한다.

한국은 8일(한국 시간) 영국 런던의 OVO 아레나 웸블리에서 열린 2026 국제탁구연맹(ITTF) 세계탁구선수권대회 단체전 남자부 8강에서 중국에 매치 점수 0-3으로 패했다.



지난 2일 대회 시드 배정 리그에서 세계랭킹 1위 중국에 3-1 승리를 거두며 세계 탁구계를 들썩이게 했던 한국은 8강에서 재회했으나 이번엔 높은 벽을 실감했다.

2016년 쿠알라룸푸르 대회부터 2024년 부산 대회까지 동메달을 따냈던 남자 대표팀은 중국에 가로막혀 5개 대회 연속 단체전 메달 획득이 무산됐다.

경기 후 오상은 남자 대표팀 감독은 "중국 선수들이 예선에서 우리한테 져서 부담을 많이 안고 경기했을 것이다. 그만큼 준비를 많이 하고 나온 것이 눈에 보였다. 오준성(한국거래소)이 1매치에서 좋은 경기를 했고, 그 경기를 이겼다면 흐름이 어떻게 달라질지 알 수 없었다. 그래서 첫 경기가 아쉽다"며 "어려운 상황 속에서 지금까지 최선을 다한 선수들에게 감사하다"고 총평을 전했다.



주요 경쟁 상대인 중국과 일본은 나란히 4강에 안착하며 메달을 확보했으나 한국은 8강에서 행진을 멈추게 됐다.

대표팀이 떠안은 과제를 떠올린 오 감독은 "이번 대회를 치르며 느낀 점은 우리가 유럽 선수들처럼 힘 있는 탁구를 구사하기가 쉽지 않다. 그래서 중국이나 일본처럼 스피드를 더 보강해야 한다. 스피드가 갖춰지면 지금보다 훨씬 훌륭한 탁구를 할 수 있다"고 힘주어 말했다.

대회를 마무리한 남자 대표팀은 오는 9월 열리는 2026 아이치·나고야 아시안게임에 초점을 맞춘다. 이번 대회에서 활약한 주축 오준성, 장우진(세아), 안재현(한국거래소)은 아시안게임에도 출전한다.

오 감독은 "선수들이 이번 대회를 통해 느낀 점이 있을 것이다. 대회에 참가하기 전에 여러 이유로 훈련이 조금 부족했다. 결국 실력을 향상하기 위해 가장 필요한 건 훈련이다. 그래서 아시안게임 전까지 웨이트 트레이닝을 포함해 더 많은 준비를 하려고 한다"고 강조했다.



이어 "아시안게임에는 혼합 복식, 남자 복식 등 여러 종목이 있다. 우리가 금메달에 가까이 갈 수 있는 종목에 더 집중적으로 투자하려고 한다. 최선을 다해 준비하겠다"고 밝혔다.

0-3 Defeat to China… Bitter Score of Quarterfinal Elimination

"Must Strengthen Speed Like China and Japan"

...

After the match, men's national team head coach Oh Sang-eun commented, "The Chinese players must have played under a lot of pressure after losing to us in the preliminaries. It was evident that they had prepared extensively. Oh Jun-seong (Korea Exchange) played well in the first match, and if they had won that game, it is impossible to know how the flow of the game might have changed. That is why the first match was disappointing," adding, "I am grateful to the players for doing their best so far in difficult circumstances."

While major competitors China and Japan both secured medals by advancing to the semifinals, Korea's run came to a halt in the quarterfinals. Recalling the challenges facing the national team, Head Coach Oh emphasized, "What I realized while competing in this tournament is that it is not easy for us to play powerful table tennis like European players. Therefore, we need to further strengthen our speed, like China or Japan. Once we have the speed, we can play much better table tennis than we do now."

Having concluded the tournament, the men's national team is now focusing on the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games to be held this coming September. Key players who performed well in this tournament—Oh Jun-sung, Jang Woo-jin (Seah), and Ahn Jae-hyun (Korea Exchange)—will also compete in the Asian Games.

Head Coach Oh stressed, "The players must have learned something from this tournament. Prior to the competition, training was somewhat lacking for various reasons. Ultimately, the most essential thing for improving skills is training. That is why we plan to make more preparations, including weight training, leading up to the Asian Games."

He added, "The Asian Games feature various events, such as mixed doubles and men's doubles. We intend to invest more intensively in the events where we can get closer to a gold medal. We will do our utmost to prepare." ◎Sympathetic Media Newsis [email protected])


한국 남자탁구, 단체 세계선수권서 중국에 0-3 완패…8강 탈락

시드배정 리그 맞대결 승리 재연 실패…여자도 중국에 져 8강서 짐 싸

(서울=연합뉴스) 안홍석 기자 = 한국 남자 탁구가 '만리장성'을 두 번 넘지는 못하고 2026 단체전 세계탁구선수권대회 8강에서 탈락했다.

오상은 감독이 지휘하는 한국은 8일 영국 런던에서 열린 대회 남자 8강전에서 '최강' 중국에 매치 점수 0-3으로 완패했다.

시드배정 리그 맞대결에서 연출해낸 중국 상대 남자 단체전 30년 만의 승리 환희를 두 경기 연속으로 이어가지는 못했다.

시드배정 리그 중국전에서 홀로 2승을 챙기며 승리의 선봉장으로 나섰던 오준성(한국거래소)이 이날 1단식에 나서 세계 1위의 최강자 왕추친과 '정면충돌'을 감행했다.

왕추친은 시드배정 리그에서는 한국과 경기에 출전하지 않았다.

오준성은 첫 두 게임을 내줬으나 끈질기게 승부를 걸어 3, 4게임을 가져오는 명승부를 펼쳐 보였다.

운명의 5게임, 오준성은 2-1로 앞서다가 왕추친의 노련한 경기 운영에 흐름을 잃고 2-6으로 밀렸다.

오준성이 추격하려 할 때면 왕추친의 과감한 공격이 테이블을 갈랐다. 결국 오준성은 2-3(9-11 1-11 11-8 11-7 7-11) 패배를 받아들여야 했다.

첫판에서 이변을 일으키지 못한 한국은 2단식에 나선 장우진(세아)이 린스둥에게 0-3(3-11 11-13 8-11), 3단식의 안재현(한국거래소)이 량징쿤에게 0-3(7-11 5-11 11-13)으로 패하면서 탈락이 확정됐다.

이로써 한국 대표팀은 남녀 모두 8강 고지에서 물러나며 대회를 마쳤다.

한국 남녀 대표팀이 둘 다 4강까지 오르지 못한 건 2014년 도쿄 대회 이후 12년 만이다.

그러나 남자 대표팀이 시드배정 리그에서 중국을 격파하는 기염을 토했기에 이번 대회 성적을 '실패'라 규정할 수는 없다.

한국이 중국과 남자 단체전에서 승리한 건 1996년 아시아선수권대회 결승 이후 30년 만의 일이었다.

중국은 2000년 말레이시아 쿠알라룸푸르 단체전 세계선수권대회에서 스웨덴에 패해 준우승한 뒤 26년 동안 이어오던 무패 행진을 한국 탓에 마감했다.

여자 대표팀은 에이스 신유빈(대한항공)의 허리 통증 영향으로 어려운 경기를 펼친 끝에 전날 역시 8강에서 중국에 패해 탈락했다.

[email protected]
(It has been 12 years since the 2014 Tokyo Games that neither the Korean men's nor women's national teams reached the semifinals.

However, given that the men's team achieved a remarkable feat by defeating China in the seeded league, the results of this tournament cannot be labeled a "failure."

It was the first time in 30 years, since the 1996 Asian Championships final, that Korea had defeated China in the men's team event.

China ended its 26-year undefeated streak—which began after finishing as runner-up to Sweden at the 2000 World Team Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia—thanks to Korea.

The women's team was eliminated the previous day after losing to China in the quarterfinals, following a difficult match affected by the back pain of their ace, Shin Yu-bin (Korean Air).)

闫安: 今天大头也是真的不容易顶住了这个压力,因为第一场真的最重要的
因为吴骏诚小组赛战胜了梁靖崑和林诗栋。今天他还敢排前面的,就说明人家有信心,第一场球真的不容易,拿下第一场球之后,整个人上场包袱一下就轻了很多。
因为是团体的比赛,林诗栋整个人显得非常的兴奋,相对也非常的释放。今天的发挥这么好,好久没看到小石头有这么好的发挥。
梁靖崑也释放了前两天的这种压力,安宰贤也是上次第三场也是拿了我们一份。
所以今天的胜利我觉得是非常提振士气的。

(Yan An: Big Head really withstood the pressure today, because the first match was the most crucial.

Oh Junsung defeated Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong in the group stage. The fact that he still went up first today shows their confidence. The first match was really tough, and winning it made him feel much lighter on the court.

Because it's a team competition, Lin Shidong seemed very excited and relaxed. He played so well today. It's been a long time since we've seen Little Stone play like this.

Liang Jingkun also released the pressure from the previous two days, and An Jaehyun also took one point off of us in the third match last time.

So I think today's victory is very morale-boosting.)

I just love conspicacy theories !
Not exactly far-fetched.

Other than CNT, Harimoto knew what he was doing, hinting that he saved his strength for the KO stage and timed his peak.

Also see the Tieba comments next.

SWE apparently doesn't want to finish top of group. Well, no one does...
is LIN Yunju injured ?
Could be saving it for GER later tonight.

《軍形 - Tactical Dispositions》
軍形:
孫子曰:昔之善戰者,先為不可勝,以待敵之可勝,不可勝在己,可勝在敵。故善戰者,能為不可勝,不能使敵必可勝。故曰:勝可知,而不可為。
Tactical Dispositions:...:
Sunzi said: The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy. Hence the saying: One may know how to conquer without being able to do it.

軍形:
見勝,不過眾人之所知,非善之善者也。戰勝,而天下曰善,非善之善者也。故舉秋毫,不為多力;見日月,不為明目;聞雷霆,不為聰耳。古之善戰者,勝于易勝者;故善戰者之勝也,無智名,無勇功。故其戰勝不忒,不忒者,其措必勝,勝已敗者也。故善戰者,立于不敗之地,而不失敵之敗也。是故勝兵先勝,而後求戰;敗兵先戰,而後求勝。
Tactical Dispositions:...:
To see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence. Neither is it the acme of excellence if you fight and conquer and the whole Empire says, "Well done!" To lift an autumn hair is no sign of great strength; to see the sun and moon is no sign of sharp sight; to hear the noise of thunder is no sign of a quick ear. What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease. Hence his victories bring him neither reputation for wisdom nor credit for courage. He wins his battles by making no mistakes. Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated. Hence the skillful fighter puts himself into a position which makes defeat impossible, and does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy. Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.

https://ctext.org/art-of-war/weak-points-and-strong
《虛實 - Weak Points and Strong》
虛實:
吾所與戰之地不可知,不可知,則敵所備者多,敵所備者多,則我所與戰者寡矣。故備前則後寡,備後則前寡,備左則右寡,備右則左寡,無所不備,則無所不寡。寡者,備人者也;眾者,使人備己者也。
Weak Points and Strong:...:
The spot where we intend to fight must not be made known; for then the enemy will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points; and his forces being thus distributed in many directions, the numbers we shall have to face at any given point will be proportionately few. For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak. Numerical weakness comes from having to prepare against possible attacks; numerical strength, from compelling our adversary to make these preparations against us.

虛實:
故策之而知得失之計,作之而知動靜之理,形之而知死生之地,角之而知有餘不足之處。故形兵之極,至于無形;無形,則深間不能窺,智者不能謀。因形而措勝于眾,眾不能知,人皆知我所以勝之形,而莫知吾所以制勝之形;故其戰勝不復,而應形於無窮。
Weak Points and Strong:...:
Scheme so as to discover his plans and the likelihood of their success. Rouse him, and learn the principle of his activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself, so as to find out his vulnerable spots. Carefully compare the opposing army with your own, so that you may know where strength is superabundant and where it is deficient. In making tactical dispositions, the highest pitch you can attain is to conceal them; conceal your dispositions, and you will be safe from the prying of the subtlest spies, from the machinations of the wisest brains. How victory may be produced for them out of the enemy's own tactics - that is what the multitude cannot comprehend. All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved. Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.

回头看小组赛,瑞典止步八强完全是自己的问题 (Looking back at the group stage, Sweden's elimination in the quarterfinals was entirely their own fault)

当时国乒败给韩国,瑞典只要赢国乒一场就是小组第一,淘汰赛遇上的是英格兰(或是另一个从那小区打出来的)
或台北
但要是以3:0败给国乒,他们那组的排名就会是国乒第一,瑞典第二,韩国第三
另一组后续怎么打德国应该都是第三
要是拿了小组第二,遇上的就是韩国或德国
抽到这俩怎么都比抽到台北好
现在呢,真抽到台北还真输了
只能说他们实在是太不聪明了

(Rational discussion
At the time, the CNT lost to South Korea. If Sweden had just won one match against China, they would have topped their group and faced England (or another team from that 1/16th) in the knockout stage, or Taipei.
However, if they had lost 3-0 to China, their group ranking would have been China first, Sweden second, and South Korea third.
Germany would likely have remained third in the other group regardless of their subsequent matches.
If they had finished second in their group, they would have faced either South Korea or Germany.
Drawing either of those would have been better than drawing Taipei.
Now, they actually drew Taipei and lost.
It just shows how incredibly unwise they were)

If they don't pull China out of the top spot in their group, they might be drawn into the "group of death" to play against Japan, Germany, and France.

(This time, the eight seeded teams were divided into two groups for the seeding matches. After the group stage, only the two group winners were moved to another group, the rest remained the same. That is, Sweden, the winner of Group 1, was in the upper half of the draw. France, the winner of Group 2, was in the lower half. Then, the other three teams from Group 1—South Korea, China, and England—were all in the lower half. The other three teams from Group 2—Japan, Germany, and Chinese Taipei—were all in the upper half. The same applies to the women's teams.)

(Because the host country's level is too low, even if they are given a seeded position, they would be eliminated in the first round. It would be a disservice to the local audience if the host country only gets to play one match in a tournament. Therefore, a group stage was set up to give the host country more opportunities to play)

Moraessi 作为运动员确实有理由抱怨,因为对他们来说确实没意义,但作为观众这种赛制肯定好一些,国乒vs韩国瑞典和国乒vs波多黎各,正常人都选前者,多搞点强强对话主办方也能多卖点票

(As athletes, they certainly have reason to complain because it's meaningless for them. But as spectators, this format is definitely better. Between China vs. South Korea/Sweden and China vs. Puerto Rico, most people would choose the former. Having more high-stakes matches will also help the organizers sell more tickets)

《軍形 - Tactical Dispositions》
軍形:
孫子曰:昔之善戰者,先為不可勝,以待敵之可勝,不可勝在己,可勝在敵。故善戰者,能為不可勝,不能使敵必可勝。故曰:勝可知,而不可為。
Tactical Dispositions:...:
Sunzi said: The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy. Hence the saying: One may know how to conquer without being able to do it.

軍形:
見勝,不過眾人之所知,非善之善者也。戰勝,而天下曰善,非善之善者也。故舉秋毫,不為多力;見日月,不為明目;聞雷霆,不為聰耳。古之善戰者,勝于易勝者;故善戰者之勝也,無智名,無勇功。故其戰勝不忒,不忒者,其措必勝,勝已敗者也。故善戰者,立于不敗之地,而不失敵之敗也。是故勝兵先勝,而後求戰;敗兵先戰,而後求勝。
Tactical Dispositions:...:
To see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence. Neither is it the acme of excellence if you fight and conquer and the whole Empire says, "Well done!" To lift an autumn hair is no sign of great strength; to see the sun and moon is no sign of sharp sight; to hear the noise of thunder is no sign of a quick ear. What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease. Hence his victories bring him neither reputation for wisdom nor credit for courage. He wins his battles by making no mistakes. Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated. Hence the skillful fighter puts himself into a position which makes defeat impossible, and does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy. Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.

《虛實 - Weak Points and Strong》
虛實:
吾所與戰之地不可知,不可知,則敵所備者多,敵所備者多,則我所與戰者寡矣。故備前則後寡,備後則前寡,備左則右寡,備右則左寡,無所不備,則無所不寡。寡者,備人者也;眾者,使人備己者也。
Weak Points and Strong:...:
The spot where we intend to fight must not be made known; for then the enemy will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points; and his forces being thus distributed in many directions, the numbers we shall have to face at any given point will be proportionately few. For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak. Numerical weakness comes from having to prepare against possible attacks; numerical strength, from compelling our adversary to make these preparations against us.

虛實:
故策之而知得失之計,作之而知動靜之理,形之而知死生之地,角之而知有餘不足之處。故形兵之極,至于無形;無形,則深間不能窺,智者不能謀。因形而措勝于眾,眾不能知,人皆知我所以勝之形,而莫知吾所以制勝之形;故其戰勝不復,而應形於無窮。
Weak Points and Strong:...:
Scheme so as to discover his plans and the likelihood of their success. Rouse him, and learn the principle of his activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself, so as to find out his vulnerable spots. Carefully compare the opposing army with your own, so that you may know where strength is superabundant and where it is deficient. In making tactical dispositions, the highest pitch you can attain is to conceal them; conceal your dispositions, and you will be safe from the prying of the subtlest spies, from the machinations of the wisest brains. How victory may be produced for them out of the enemy's own tactics - that is what the multitude cannot comprehend. All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved. Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.
In other words, “Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics.”

Credit to Taiwan. But the real decision point was Kallberg vs Kuo and not Sweden topping the group. Had Japan beaten France, Japan would have topped the group and Taiwan would have been 3rd. Making it sound like it was all in Sweden's hands whether they faced Taiwan is ludicrous.

Anyway, has anyone played with this butterfly ball?
There seems to be quite a number of upsets in this tournament
I made comments about it earlier in the thread. It is a ball that gets away from you if you use too much power and is in some ways a leveler for a less powerful player. It also is grippier than Nittaku when new. Nothing you can"t adjust to but I live where most players use Nittaku so I have to prepare to use the ball for a week before doing so at a competitic event.

That said, Teams tournaments often do have upsets, team spirit counts for a lot, i dont think the ball is as big a factor as that.

I see. That could account for us seeing to many longer rallies. Where I am almost nobody plays with butterfly balls due to cost mainly
I guess. The sound of
Butterfly ball when you hit it also sounds quite different from other brands.

Boros is targetting something. Good luck to her.

Seeing the pairings Germany correctly predicted Hashimoto at #3 and Mittleham plays choppers better than Kauffmann. Not that much better but definitely better. Kaufmann is kinda atrocious at the moment even with her recent 2-3 vs Han Ying at Euro Cup.

Its also possible that Kaufmann got injured sometimes. Was surprised by her loss vs Hong Kong. Nothing looked wrong but who knows....

A bit but the R40+ is not that different. The G40+ which is not longer made was another story.

Has anyone notice that Harimoto’s mother hasn’t been appearing at these sort of events recently.

In the past she usually wears the Team Japan uniform so must be part of the backroom staff in some way but in recent times she no longer there.
