The 2017 Amateur Vs Professional Table Tennis Competition took place at 9 a.m. at Beijing Sports University. National team members, Wang Chuqin, Zhou Kai, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha had a team competition against outstanding players from the 2017 National Games.


The national team players won 5-0 in both the men's and women's team competitions but in competition like Amateur Vs Professional, interactions and exchange of ideas among the players definitely come in front of the results. National team athletes gave out souvenir and trophies to the amateurs after the competition.

It turned out a 'one-sided broadcast', with a bad broadcast angle from Xinhua net, but some matches got quite close, especially the match between Wang Chuqin and Shen Peng (left-handed penholder). At the end Wang Chuqin won the match 3-2.




Here are some of the matches from the competition.
