Lim Jong-hoon and Oh Joon-sung won the WTT Condenser Skopye held at the Skopye Jane Sandanski Sports Center in North Macedonia on the 15th (Korea time) by beating Manav Dakar-Manusi Siazo with a game score of 3-0.
After catching one game 11-9, they won two games 11-7, and finished three games 11-9. Lim and Ojo, who reached the final by beating China's Li Hechen-Wen Luizbo 3-0 in the semifinals, showed a brilliant performance and decided to win in 23 minutes. This is Oh Jun-sung's first victory in the first competition as he teamed up with Lim Jong-hoon, a left-handed absolute ace who became a teammate after wearing the Korea Exchange uniform led by head coach Yoo Nam-kyu earlier this month.
Im Jong-hoon also showed his true value of 'double ace' by winning the mixed doubles bronze medal with Shin Yu-bin at the World Championships.
However, Lim Jong-hoon will be with Ahn Jae-hyun (Korea Exchange) at the WTT Star Contender Ljubljana (Slovenia) on the 17th and WTT Contender Zagreb (Croatia) on the 24th. Oh Jun-sung will challenge another 'left-handed ace' Cho Dae-sung (Samsung Life Insurance) and podium in WTT Contender Zagreb.
