TOKYO : China won the Olympic women's team table tennis gold medal on Thursday after a 3-0 victory over Japan in the final, continuing the country's undefeated streak in the event.
In the second match, Sun played Japan's Mima Ito, who she beat in their singles semi-final last week. World number four Wang crushed Miu Hirano 3-0 in the third match to secure victory for China, who have won all four women's Olympic table tennis team events since it was introduced in 2008. "This is a team medal and the meaning is different. It required the three of us to get it and the whole team, the Chinese Table Tennis Association, everybody who has put in effort, everybody who has quietly supported and helped us. I really want to thank them here.""Our young players grew so fast because of Japan. Every day we are worrying about Japan. We've been in this process for the last five years," he said.
