Yu Mengyu Birthday, Date of Birth
Yu Mengyu (Chinese: 于梦雨; pinyin: Yú Mèngyǔ; born 18 August 1989) is a retired Singaporean table tennis player. Born in Liaoning, China, Yu left China in 2006 at the age of 17 to join the Singapore Table Tennis Association (STTA) under the Foreign Sports Talent Scheme. In the same year, Yu made her international debut for Singapore.
Yu was part of the team who defeated China 3-1 to be crowned world champions in the 2010 World Team Table Tennis Championships in Moscow, Russia. She defeated Kasumi Ishikawa and Liu Shiwen consecutively in the women's team event at the 2012 Asian Table Tennis Championships, thereby helping Singapore secure the runner-up position. Yu represented Singapore in the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics. She was the flag bearer for Singapore during the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Yu’s career has been consistently plagued by injuries. This made it challenging for her to maintain a high participation rate and stable competitive performance in international competitions. Yu participated in two Olympic Games, being the only female table tennis athlete that secured the fourth place twice and the fifth place twice, but has yet to clinch an Olympic medal.
In 2021, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore praised Yu at the National Day Rally, commending her spirit of “to be indomitable, to keep going and never give up” during the Tokyo Olympic Games. He referred to her as a representative of the "Singapore Spirit".
On 22 March 2022, Yu retired from the national team. In November, she was awarded the Sportswoman of the Year in the Singapore Sports Awards 2022. In 2024, Yu was inducted into the Singapore Sport Hall of Fame.
