Liu Dingshuo and Qian Tianyi of China beat their compatriots Xue Fei and Wang Xiaotong 4-1 to win the mixed doubles table tennis title at the World University Games here on Thursday.
In the all-Chinese final, Liu and Qian defeated Xue and Wang 11-4, 11-7, 11-8, 4-11, 11-6, to win China's third table tennis gold after the host nation had earlier claimed men's and women's team titles.
"We are so familiar with Xue Fei and Wang Xiaotong that whoever would win the match depended on who did their best in the process," said Liu after the match.
The bronze medal was shared between Japan and Hong Kong (China).
Idesawa Kyoka of Japan said it was great to participate in such a high-level match. "It was a great honor to compete with Chinese participants," she said.
