        China completed a clean sweep of Olympic gold medals in table tennis by winning the women's team title in Paris, the sixth time the Chinese have collected the full set.

        Fan won 7-11 11-9 11-9 11-8 11-8, and although Moregard saved five gold medal points in the final set, Fan was finally able to get the win over the line and spark wild celebrations from the overwhelmingly Chinese-supporting crowd.
