TOKYO : From singles to team events, China's table tennis paddlers proved why they were world champions as they dominated the Olympic stage with four gold medals in Tokyo.

Japan's Jun Mizutani and Mima Ito narrowly defeated long-invincible Chinese pair Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen to give the host country their first Olympic table tennis gold in the mixed doubles event. "Chinese players are a very high wall for me. But if I can give everything, I can beat a Chinese opponent," said the 20-year-old Ito from Japan who won every colour of medal in Tokyo.

The Chinese Table Tennis Association President Liu Guoliang said"the competition is only going to get tougher" at the Paris Games in 2024.
