CNG Throwback: When Champion Is Not About 1 Person

Table tennis is, sometimes, a lonely sport, because it is often focused on the individual. Most of the glory comes from the singles and doubles events. While there are team competitions where table tennis players come together and build off one another and produce amazing results. Today's CNG Throwback covers the 2005 Chinese National Games women's team finals where 15-year-old Ding Ning won her first Chinese National Games champion alongside with her Beijing teammates.

Day 1 Results: Men's Team & Women's Team -- 13th Chinese National Games Prelims

Day 1 Results: Liu Shiwen's 2 Points Didn't Turn into Victory

In Day 1
of the Prelims of the 13th Chinese National Games,
 Women's team and Men's team events start the jam-packed competition schedule.


In the women's side, Liu Shiwen
from Team Guangdong fought hard in the match against Team Henan. Despite winning 2 points for the team, it is not enough to beat Team Henan. She did not play in the match against Team Heilongjiang, which has competitive young players like Wang Manyu and Che Xiaoxi. Group 4, Team Shandong, with Chen Meng, Gu Yuting and Liu Gaoyang, is out of the league, making a clean sweep in the first day.

In the men's side
, Ma Long from Team Beijing is still recovering from his injury and did not play in today's competition. However Team Beijing with Yan An and 16-year-old future star, Wang Chuqin, is still too strong to be defeated. In Group 4, the 'Group of Death', Team Guangdong has a close match against Team Sichuan. Lin Gaoyuan, the main player of Team Guangdong did not play in the match because of a cramping back pain. Zhang Chao, the 32-year-old veteran beat Zhu Linfeng and Lai Jiaxin of Team Sichuan, winning 2 crucial points for Team Guangdong. What a shaky start of 3-2 for Team Guangdong! 


The results are as follow:

More than the Marvellous 12 -- Team Draws of the Chinese National Games Prelims

With only three being up in the Olympics and five in the Worlds, many magnificent Chinese players do not get the chance to play internationally. Now we will have the chance to see some of the less-popular but great players and newcomers playing in the prelims of the Chinese National Games.
