How much $$ will we give these losers?
DORTMUND: China completed the clean sweep of gold medals at the world team table tennis championship yesterday as their women’s team beat defending champions Singapore 3-0 in yesterday’s final.
After the men had downed hosts Germany 3-0 earlier in their final, the Chinese dragon roared again as the women’s team took revenge for their defeat in the world team final two years ago in Moscow with victory over Singapore.
China’s Ding Ning put her side ahead in the opening match with a 3-1 win over Feng Tianwei, while compatriot Li Xiaoxia also had few problems in her 3-1 win over Wang Yuegu.
It fell to Guo Yue to seal victory and she dominated Li Jiawei with a 3-0 win in straight games.
It was the Chinese women’s 18th gold medal at the world team championships and their 2010 defeat was the only time they have lost a world team final since 1991.
Overall, China have won 36 gold medals in both the men’s and women’s world team championships since the tournament was first held in 1926.
The world championships doubles as an Olympic qualifier with London places up for grabs for the highest-ranked nation from each of the six continents and China are the defending champions in both the mens and womens events. — AFP
