Chinese table tennis star Wang Chuqin, who recently won gold in the mixed doubles event, suffered a surprising defeat in the men's singles round of 32 to Sweden's Truls Moregard. The loss came after a tumultuous day in which a photographer accidentally broke Wang's paddle, forcing him to use a backup. Despite this setback, Wang attributed his defeat to his own mistakes and Moregard's exceptional play. Moregard, ranked 26th, celebrated his victory enthusiastically, marking his second win over a Chinese player in international competition. Wang will continue to compete in the team events, while Fan Zhendong remains China's hope for a singles gold. The incident has sparked significant discussion among fans on social media.
