Chen Meng of the People’s Republic of China defeated her teammate Sun Yingsha in the women’s table tennis singles final on Saturday (3 August) to capture Olympic gold at Paris 2024 by a final score of 4-2. The 30-year-old became the third woman in history to win back-to-back Olympic golds in the event after topping the podium at Tokyo 2020.

History repeated itself for China's defending champion Chen Meng when she beat teammate Sun Yingsha 4-2 to win the women's singles table tennis gold medal at the Paris Olympics on Saturday, just as she had done at the Tokyo Games.

World number one Chen Meng has won the ITTF Women's World Cup after beating Chinese teammate Sun Yingsha, the world number three, in a tightly-contested final that lasted for five games. It is Chen's first World Cup singles title.

In the all-China final, the world number one beat her compatriot, and world number two, SUN Yingsha, 4-2 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium on 29 July. It was a tough match with 20-year-old Sun opening up the attack and winning the first game 9-11. Chen fought back in the next two games, winning them 11-6, 11-4, but then lost 5-11 in the fourth.
