China Wins Women's Team Title


China Wins Women's Team Title
China clinched their fifth consecutive women's world team table tennis championship on Saturday, thrashing North Korea 3-0.

The favourites seized the lead early on as world number one Wang Nan went on the offensive, notching a decisive 21-15 21-10 win over Kim Hyang Mi, ranked 68.

Fast-attacking Zhang Yining took command of the second rubber after some early jitters against number 19 Kim Hyon, leaving it to second-ranked Li Ju to finish the job.

The doubles gold medallist at the Sydney Olympics had to work hard to beat Tu Jong Sil but ended up triumphing 17-21 23-21 21-14.

North Korea have never won a match in the four times the two countries have met in world championship finals.
