CHINA has chosen Wang Hao and Zhang Jike to play table tennis singles with Ma Long joining them in the men's team competition at the London Olympics.
Earlier, Ding Ning and Li Xiaoxia were picked for women's singles with Guo Yue playing the team event.
Under new rules for this year's Olympics, only two players from any country can play singles. Guo Yan and Li had earned automatic berths, but Chinese officials said Guo Yan was being replaced by the top-ranked Ding. Chinese officials said Guo was injured.
The third player will be Guo Yue, who advanced from a recent Asian qualification tournament. She will only play in the team event. Guo Yue and Li form the world's top doubles team.
As the world's top-ranked player, Ding, who enjoys a superstar status in China, will be a favorite to win the gold in both singles and the team event.
