Team
Hong Kong defeated higher ranked Japan to advance to the semi finals of
the Olympic Table Tennis team competition, where they play Korea Rep.
Tang Peng was the hero of the Hong Kong team. He beat highly seasoned
Seiya Kishikawa and young Koki Niwa. The other fancied teams duly
advanced to the last four stage. The match between Timo Boll's Germany
and China is keenly awaited.
Earlier, in the first round, the highly politically sensitive Korea Rep vs Korea DPR ended in a victory for the 2nd seeds Korea Rep 3-1.
