Oh Sang Eun of South Korea is a two-time Olympian, whose best result was a Round of 16 finish in Athens 2004. A World Championship Men's Singles semifinalist in 2005, Oh is a tall player whose elegantly smooth forehand and backhand loops belie the dangerous speed and topspin he can produce.

Oh is pictured here producing a forehand counterloop under pressure, as shown by the shortened follow through and body lean to his left, since he has not had time to move into an optimal position.
