Formidable Chinese threat only to themselvesLatest: Sunday October 01, 2000 06:33 AM
SYDNEY, Australia (CNNSI.com) -- China's Wang Nan beat her doubles partner Li Ju on Sunday to win the women's table tennis gold medal. Chen Jing of Taiwan beat Jun Hong Jing of Singapore to win the bronze. On Friday, the Wang and Li paired up to beat Chinese teammates Sun Jin and Yang Ying for the women's doubles gold. Chen won the Olympic women's singles title for China in 1988 and the silver for Taiwan four years ago after she emigrated. Once again, China is dominating the sport of table tennis. In addition to gold and silver in both women's competitions, the Chinese also took the top two medals in men's doubles. Two Chinese will compete for the gold and bronze medals against Swedish rivals in men's singles on Monday. Kong Linghui of China plays Jan-Ove Waldner for gold, and Liu Guoliang meets Joergen Persson for bronze. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
