On July 30, in the mixed doubles final of table tennis at the Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese pair Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha defeated the North Korean pair of Lee Jung-sik and Kim Kum-hyang with a score of 4 to 2, securing the gold medal.
Notably, this gold medal is the first Olympic mixed doubles gold in the history of Chinese table tennis, as well as the first gold in the table tennis events at these Paris Olympic Games.
As is known, three years ago at the Tokyo Olympics, Chinese players Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen narrowly missed the gold after losing to the Japanese pair of Jun Mizutani and Mima Ito.
After the match, Wang Chuqin said, “This mixed doubles gold has been a heavy burden on our minds for a long time. I had previously stated that I would trade my life for this gold, and today, I have done just that.”
