China completed a clean sweep of Olympic gold medals in table tennis by winning the women's team title in Paris, the sixth time the Chinese have collected the full set.
The Chinese women withstood a brave Japanese challenge but eventually overpowered their opponents 3-0 to snatch gold, their fifth from five competitions at the Games.
The Chinese pairing of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu were tested in the opening doubles by Hina Hayata and Miwa Harimoto, before winning 9-11 11-6 5-11 11-6 12-10.
Sun Yingsha dominated Miu Hirano in match two, 13-11 11-6 11-6. And Wang completed the victory over Miwa 2-14 12-10 11-7 11-6.
Wang, Chen and Sun were part of the team that defeated Japan in the Tokyo 2020 women’s team gold medal match, and most recently at the 2024 World Championships.
