Saint Lucian table tennis player Joshua Lubin has continued his journey in Taiwan, recently finishing training at Nangang Senior High School in Taipei. Taiwanese sports agent Tony Chiang Lin helped make his participation possible.
The 20-year-old, originally from Dennery and Entrepot, went to Taiwan in the summer of 2025. He started learning Mandarin at Ming Chuan University to prepare for a bachelor’s degree in biotechnology and food nutrition. At the same time, the Saint Lucia national Under-19 champion has stayed active in table tennis.
“During my time there, I focused on developing my table tennis skills, gaining valuable experience, and building friendships with players and coaches,” Lubin said. “The atmosphere was great, especially as the only foreigner among them for such a long time.”
With support from the Embassy of Saint Lucia in Taiwan, Lubin has spent two months training for more than 80 hours at the school’s facility alongside other aspiring table tennis players.
“I was impressed by the kindness and respect shown to me by both the players and coaching staff,” Lubin said. “The coaches and players consistently made me feel welcome and were always willing to offer assistance whenever I needed help.
“The experience not only contributed significantly to my athletic development but also allowed me to gain a deeper appreciation for Taiwanese culture and hospitality through my daily interactions with the team.”
On Wednesday, June 3, Lubin presented tokens of appreciation to the head coach, assistant coaches, and 30 players.
