Representing DBTC Singapore with pride, our team embarked on a remarkable journey to Korea for the prestigious WONCHEON YONEX Korea Junior International Challenge 2023, held from November 27th to December 3rd, 2023.
Led by coaches Chiang King Hua and Tan Min Er, accompanied by the unwavering support of parents, our contingent of 14 talented players, comprising 7 girls and 7 boys, embraced the challenge of competing on an international stage.
Despite the fact we missed out on victory, the experience was invaluable as our players had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a new competition environment amidst the winter chill in Korea at that time. They faced off against tough opponents from countries including China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia and Thailand, showcasing their skills and determination with each match.
While the podium remained out of reach, our players exhibited incredible resilience and sportsmanship, leaving a lasting impression with their excellent performance.
Beyond the competition, our time in Korea was filled with joy, bonds, and unforgettable experiences. Exploring the vibrant culture, savoring local delicacies, and creating memories together, we embraced every moment with enthusiasm and gratitude.
The journey to Korea not only provided our players with a platform to showcase their talents but also enriched their lives with invaluable lessons and memories that will endure for years to come.
As we reflect on our time at the WONCHEON YONEX Korea Junior International Challenge 2023, we celebrate the spirit of sportsmanship, bonds, and personal growth that defines the essence of DBTC Singapore.
