Men’s doubles world #1 Yoo Yeon Seong and his wife celebrated the of their first child today, welcoming their son into the world on the birthday of none other than Yoo’s partner .  Yoo had told the Korean press earlier this summer that he planned to name his son ‘Rio’ if he and Lee could win gold at the 2016 Olympics.  While this didn’t happen, the household is still going to have nothing but happy memories of 2016.  All of us at Badzine wish Yoo and his family the greatest happiness.
