The main event of the day came in the Women’s Championship Division as China and Japan went head-to-head at the final hurdle of the title race.
Seeded first for the 2018 competition and aiming to defending their crown, understandably the China squad entered the tie as favourites for the win but in a breathtaking start to the match it was Japan who struck first as Liu Shiwen suffered a surprise five games defeat at the hands of Mima Ito (9-11, 11-8, 11-5, 8-11, 10-12).
Looking for a quick response China neutralised the score deficit through Ding Ning, who saw off Miu Hirano without dropping a game (11-6, 12-10, 13-11) and not long after the advantage was in China’s court with Zhu Yuling proving too strong for Kasumi Ishikawa (11-4, 11-7, 11-8). Avenging her early defeat, Liu Shiwen put in a strong showing against Miu Hirano (11-6, 11-6, 12-10) to see China lift the trophy for a fourth consecutive occasion.

A
significant moment in table tennis history as the Unified Korea side
took to the stage for the first time since in 27 years, but the
team’s ambitions of making the final were dashed by second seeds
Japan in the penultimate round of the 2018 event.
Mima
Ito handed Japan the perfect start to the tie with a straight games
victory over Jeon Jihee (11-2, 11-8, 11-9) before Kasumi Ishikawa
doubled the advantage, defeating Kim Song I in an emotional seven
game thriller (11-4, 6-11, 11-8, 11-13, 16-14). Stepping up to
compete the job was Miu Hirano, who accounted for Yang Haeun (11-4,
11-5, 9-11, 11-6) to send Japan through to the gold medal match.

The
Chinese Men’s Team are the 2018 Men’s Team World Champions after
a comprehensive victory over Germany in the Liebherr 2018 World Team
Table Tennis Championships which concluded today, 6 May 2018 in
Halmstad, Sweden.
This was the 21st time that the
Chinese men’s team lifted the Swaythling Cup, and it matches the
Chinese women’s team’s achievement from yesterday.
The
defending Champion faced long-time rivals, European Champion Germany
in the final battle for Gold. A bombshell was dropped by Germany one
hour before the match started, with the number one seeds leaving the
world #3 Dimitrij OVTCHAROV out of the team due his poor condition
due to injury.
In the opening match, reigning
World Champion MA Long was in domineering form, sweeping table tennis
legend Timo BOLL 3-0 (11-4, 11-8, 11-3) to give the Chinese
team a 1-0 lead.
Newly crowned world number one
FAN Zhendong fresh from his first Asian Cup victory just last month
in Yokohama, Japan, continued his top form against Ruwen FILUS to win
11-4, 11-5, 11-4 to help China establish a comfortable 2-0
lead.
XU Xin finished the job for China against
Patrick FRANZISKA 3-1 (9-11, 12-10, 11-7, 11-5) to put a stamp on the
Chinese dominance and close out the championships.
