CHENGDU, China, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) — China won its fifth consecutive women's team title after sweeping Japan 3-0 at the World Team Table Tennis Championships here on Saturday.
It was also a record-extending 22nd time for China to have lifted the Corbillon Cup in history.
In the two sides' fourth straight head-to-head in the final dating back to 2014, China enjoyed a wire-to-wire victory, as Olympic champion Chen Meng put the hosts ahead with an 11-6, 11-8, 11-8 win over Miyuu Kihara.
"We made a lot of preparation for the final, and our tactics laid out by the coach were fully reflected today," said Chen. "The fans' cheering gave me much motivation."
