Paralympic powerhouse China continued to showcase its dominance on Sunday, clinching two gold medals and a silver in doubles table tennis events at the Paris Games. The day started with a setback for the Chinese team as Liu Chaodong and Zhao Yiqing were defeated 3-0 by Poland's Patryk Chojnowski and Piotr Grudzien in the men's doubles final, with Liu citing a dispute with an official as a factor in their loss.
Despite this initial disappointment, China bounced back strongly in the subsequent matches. Feng Panfeng and Zhou Ying secured the first gold for China of the day by winning the XD7 mixed doubles final against Thailand's Yuttajak Glinbancheun and Wijittra Jaion with a score of 3-1. Feng expressed their satisfaction with the win, emphasizing the hard work and strategic preparation that led to their success.
In the final event of the day, Liao Keli and Yan Shuo overcame a one-game deficit to triumph 3-1 over another Thai pair in the MD14 men's doubles final. This victory added a second gold to China's tally, reinforcing their position as a dominant force in table tennis.
As of midday on Sunday, China led the overall medals table with a total of 24 golds, maintaining their impressive performance from the Tokyo 2020 Games where they won 96 gold medals.
