Table tennis fans, assemble! ๐ The inaugural World Table Tennis (WTT) China Smash wrapped up in Beijing with a fireworks finale of all-Chinese showdowns. Rising stars Lin Shidong (17) and Sun Yingsha (23) claimed victory in the menโs and womenโs singles finals, sealing Chinaโs golden sweep at the event. ๐ฅ
Lin battled through a tense five-game thriller against Fan Zhendong, while Sun powered past Wang Manyu in straight sets. The wins solidify Chinaโs table tennis dominance โ think of it as the *Avengers: Endgame* of paddle sports, but with way more backspin. ๐ฅ
The tournament, held at Beijingโs Olympic-grade venue, drew global talent but ultimately became a victory lap for the host nation. Analysts say this event could preview next-gen stars for the 2024 Paris Olympics. ๐โจ
