China women take table tennis gold 2008-08-17 Category Table Tennis Nations Singapore People Zhang Yining Hu Jintao Event 2008 Beijing Olympics Source (AP) BEIJING - China has won the gold medal in the women's team table tennis competition, beating Singapore 3-0 in another lopsided matchup. The top-seeded hosts were led by Zhang Yining, the No. 1 player in the world. They picked apart second-seeded Singapore with near-flawless execution, dishing out shots to the edges and corners of the table. The Singapore team features three former Chinese athletes who went overseas in search of better playing opportunities. They went into the contest saying there was little chance of a win against the Chinese. A near-capacity crowd at Peking University Gymnasium chanted "Go China" throughout the evening. Chinese President Hu Jintao and International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge watched from a VIP section.  Zhang Yining    2008 Beijing Olympics    Profile4 News11 Gallery27 Links     China's Zhang eases through at tabletennis champs (2009-05-02)   China posts greatest Olympic gold haul ever (2008-08-17)   China women take table tennis gold (2008-08-17)   China gymnasts and divers bolster medal haul (2008-08-12)   China women battle hard at world table tennis (2008-02-25)   China's sports system delivers, but at a cost (2008-01-02)   China's women clinch 16th world table tennis title (2006-04-30)   World No. 1 Zhang Yining left as sole Chinese in ProTour finals (2005-12-14)   Olympic champion leads dominant Chinese squad into table tennis worlds (2005-04-29)   China's Zhang Yining Wins Table Tennis (2004-08-22)   Chinese Win Gold in Doubles Table Tennis (2004-08-20) Related People Wang Nan Wang Liqin Wang Hao Ma Lin Related Events 2004 Athens Summer Olympics 2005 World Table Tennis Championships Stories Coverages NewsGuide   Event City People Show Company     ENT Sports BIZ EDU Life Military Politics Society Health   [Air Travel Safety]: US charges Nigerian with trying to blow up plane (16:10 12/26) [2009 US Health Reform]: Senate OKs health care measure, reaching milestone (10:47 12/24) [111th Congress]: Senate OKs health care measure, reaching milestone (10:47 12/24) [Vietnam War]: Fannie and Freddie CEOs to get up to $6M in pay (09:47 12/24) [2009 Boy in Balloon Hoax]: Balloon Boy parents face sentencing in Colorado (08:56 12/23) [2009 Geely Bidding Volvo]: Ford confirms deal in Volvo sale to China's Geely (03:56 12/23) [Global Financial Crisis]: Greek parliament to adopt 2010 crisis budget (08:56 12/23) [Michael Jackson Molestation]: Terrorist attack feared after Jackson arrest (08:56 12/23) [2008 U.S. Recession]: Incomes and spending post solid gains in November (08:56 12/23) [Second Gulf War]: U.S. military: no change to Iraq pregnancy policy (08:56 12/23)
