[World Table Tennis Contender Taiyuan 2024] EdUHK Doo Hoi Kem claimed a remarkable Bronze!

May 25, 2024 All day

The WTT Contender Taiyuan took place from 21 to 26 May at the Taiyuan City Binhe Sports Center. EdUHK’s Doo Hoi Kem (Bachelor of Health Education (Honours)) continued to team up with Wong Chun-ting to compete in the Mixed Doubles event. Last Friday (May 24), they first appeared in the Mixed Doubles quarter-finals against the Chinese duo Yuan Licen and Chen Xingtong. Despite losing the first game at 6:11, they regained their momentum and came back to win three consecutive games at 11:3, 11:8, and 13:11, securing a 3:1 victory and advancing to the semi-finals. Unfortunately, they were defeated 0:3 in the semi-finals by another Chinese duo, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Yidi, earning a Bronze Medal. This is Doo Hoi Kem ‘s second mixed doubles medal after winning silver at the WTT Saudi Smash at the beginning of the month. We hope she can continue her good performance and go all out in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
