    Paris Olympics: World No. 1 Wang Falls In Men's Singles TT After Breaking Bat

    South Paris Arena: China's Wang Chuqin, top-seeded in the men's singles table tennis at the 2024 Olympic Games, failed to reach the Round of 16 following a surprising 2-4 defeat to Truls Moregard of Sweden on Wednesday.

    Wang, a 24-year-old Olympic debutant who took gold in the mixed doubles on Tuesday with his partner Sun Yingsha, was denied the chance to advance further after just two matches in the men's singles event, losing 10-12, 7-11, 11-5, 11-7, 9-11 and 6-11 to the 22-year-old Swede at the South Paris Arena 4.

    "I definitely felt very down coming off the court. I had such a high yesterday from winning the mixed doubles gold. To go from that to this low, I guess this is what competitive sport is about," said Wang after the match.
