PARIS: China’s table tennis world number one Wang Chuqin suffered a shock defeat in the men’s Olympic singles on Wednesday, a day after having his bat broken.
Wang won mixed doubles gold on Tuesday in Paris but his elation quickly turned to anger after a photographer accidentally snapped his bat while jostling to take a picture. Wang is now out in the round of 32 of the singles after a 4-2 defeat to 26th-ranked Truls Moregard of Sweden. Moregard, 22, sank to his knees in disbelief before doing a tour of the crowd, who rose in appreciation.
