Personal life

Lin was born in Yuanshan, Yilan County, Taiwan. He graduated from Taipei Municipal Nei-Hu Vocational High School and is currently studying at Fu Jen Catholic University.[7]

Career

2019

Lin started competing in the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) senior circuit in 2016.[8] He won two major tournaments in a row in 2019, first the T2 Diamond Malaysia in July,[9] followed in August by his first ITTF World Tour title, the Czech Open at the age of only 18.[10] In these tournaments, he had beaten some of the top players, including Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Dimitrij Ovtcharov and Timo Boll.[11]

2021

Lin trained in China along with members of the Chinese national team and other selected foreigners from late 2020 until early 2021.[12] His first international event was WTT Contender at World Table Tennis' inaugural event WTT Doha, where he reached the finals after defeating Quadri Aruna in the quarter-finals and Simon Gauzy in the semi-finals[13] before being upset by Dimitrij Ovtcharov in the finals.[14] In the WTT Star Contender event, Lin suffered a quarter-final upset against Ruwen Filus.[15] However, Lin walked out of Doha with control of the fourth seed for the men's singles event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.[16] In April, ITTF amended the Olympic seeding system so that Lin fell back to the fifth seed below Hugo Calderano.[17]

Lin placed fourth at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after losing to Dimitrij Ovtcharov in the bronze-medal match.[18] Lin defeated Ovtcharov in the team event later, but Taiwan ultimately fell to Germany 3–2 in the quarter-finals.[19]
