Chinese men's table tennis wins 11th consecutive team title!

Once again, the 'world's strongest' Chinese table tennis team was strong. China won both the men's and women's titles at the Busan 2024 World Table Tennis Championships.

The world No. 1 Chinese men's national table tennis team defeated France (No. 4) 3-0 (3-0 3-2 3-1) in the men's main draw tournament final of the BNK Busan Bank 2024 Busan World Table Tennis Championships at BEXCO Choppy Hall (Venue 1) in Haeundae-gu, Busan, Korea, at 8 p.m. on Friday.

The Chinese men's team won their 11th consecutive World Championship team title.

Then, in the semifinals against South Korea on June 24, they went to a full match and produced one of the most exciting games of the tournament before coming out on top 3-2.

France is also a powerhouse, led by the world's top-ranked brothers, Felix and Alexis LeBron. However, China was the strongest team with Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long, the world's No. 1, 2, and 3 players, respectively. South Korea simply outperformed expectations.

China's Wang Chuqin swept the first set against Felix LeBron in straight sets, 3-0. Only the second set was close at 8-8 (he won 11-8), but the other two games were easily won. World No. 1 Fan Zhendong, who played in the second match, was down 1-2 in the third set, but he rallied to take the fourth and fifth sets to clinch the title.

Marung put the finishing touches. Playing against France's Simone Gozie, Marung dropped the first game 7-11 but never looked in trouble 토토사이트 from there, taking the game 3-1 to win the match. When his final service went in, Marung didn't show much emotion. The Chinese fans in the stands, however, erupted in celebration.

Earlier in the day, China won the women's team final at 8 p.m. with a match score of 3-2 over Japan. China faced a 1-2 deficit after three matches, but ace Sun Yingxia turned the tie around, with her 30-year-old eldest sister Chen Meng defeating Japan's 15-year-old Miwa Harimoto 3-1 in the final five singles to clinch the title.

Sun Yingxia, who rescued China from the brink, told the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) in an official interview after the match: "It feels even better to win after a long battle. I owe this victory to my five teammates and the fans," she said, drawing loud applause from the home fans who filled the stadium to cheer her on.

With this victory, the Chinese women's team extended their winning streak to six titles, dating back to Dortmund 2012.
