CHINA is one gold medal away from sweeping all four in table tennis.
China's women delivered gold No. 3 yesterday in the team competition with a 3-0 victory over Japan, which claimed silver, its first medal of any color in table tennis at the Olympics since the sport entered in 1988.
China won two gold and two silvers in singles and now has gold in women's team. It is an overwhelming favorite to complete the gold sweep by winning the men's team final today against South Korea. China has now won 23 of 27 gold medals since 1988.
Singapore - all three of its players were born in China - took bronze defeating South Korea 3-0 yesterday.
The winning team of Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning and Guo Yue represent the new generation, all 24 or younger and the latest in a long line of famous female players.
Li, who won gold in singles by beating Ding, and team, is on course to match the record of several national icons.
Zhang Yining took four gold medals in the last two Olympics. Wang Nan won her fourth gold in three Olympics - 2000, 2004 and 2008. And Deng Yaping started the string with four in 1992 and 1996, and went on to be one of the faces of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
