Yang Ha-Eun first burst into prominence after winning two bronze medals at the 2010 Youth Olympics in Singapore. At the 2015 World Championships in Suzhou, she claimed the mixed doubles gold with China’s Xu Xin and in the process became the first Korean in history to collaborate with a foreign player to win the World Championships. Yang is also one half of the world’s top women’s doubles pairing with Jeon Ji Hee. Together they have appeared in 12 ITTF World Tour women’s doubles finals and emerged champions on seven occasions, having won four titles in 2015 alone (Croatia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Argentina).
