Yu Sun-bok


Yu Sun Book (유순복, August 2, 1970) is a North Korean table tennis player. Together with her countryman Li Bun-hui and the South Korean players Hyun Jung-hwa and Hong Cha-ok, they formed a united Korean team in Chiba in 1991, which became world champion in the tournament for team teams. With Bun-hui she formed a women's bubble that won bronze a year later at the 1992 Summer Olympics. Sporty career

Sun-buck made her international (seniors) debut in 1989, when she participated in the World Championships in Dortmund and the Asia Cup in Beijing. When taking part in her second and third World Cup they were both in the final of the discipline for team teams. On the first occasion, Sun-bok against China won her only world title, in a team consisting of both South and North Korean players. A year later, she once again met China in final battle, but this time with a team consisting of just North Koreans, she was not excited against the record champions.

The only major international tournament win that Sun-bok wrote in the singles game was the Asia Cup in Beijing in 1989. She beat in the final Chinese Qiao Hong. The same Hong bumped her and Bun-hui three years later in the semi-finals of the only single Olympic tournament, the road to the final in the women's ball. The North Korean went home with bronze and could comfort himself with the thought that Hong with Deng Yaping eventually won the tournament and thus lost the champion duo. Erelijst
