China's Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha Win Olympic Gold

At the Paris Olympics, Hong Kong's mixed doubles table tennis duo, Wong Chun-ting and Doo Hoi-kem, finished fourth after losing to South Korea's Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin in the bronze medal match with a score of 4-0. Despite their efforts, the pair acknowledged a significant gap between themselves and the top competitors, having previously lost a close semi-final to North Korea's Ri Jong-sik and Kim Kum-yong. The gold medal was clinched by China's Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, marking China's first Olympic gold in mixed doubles, while North Korea secured silver. Wong expressed disappointment, stating the difference between winning a medal and finishing just behind was small yet substantial. Doo highlighted the challenges of competing as two right-handed players against more established partnerships. Overall, the performance reflected a step forward from their quarter-final exit at the previous Olympics in Tokyo.
