Rio Table Tennis: China dismisses Nigeria 3-0 in Team events

Newly crowned Grand Slam Champion MA Long (CHN) and his opponent ZHANG Jike (CHN) joined
forces together with XU Xin to beat Nigeria 3-0 in the first round of the Men's Team event which started yesterday at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at Riocentro 3.

Long it was who stopped Nigeria’s shining star in Rio, Aruna Quadri in the quarter finals and went ahead to beat his team mate Zhang Jike to win the glamorous men’s singles gold medal. MA stated

"It's the first team event, and it's a good start for us. Jike and I played the Men's Singles Final so we didn't really have time to prepare for the Team event, so both of us hope to quickly adjust our mindsets and get ready for the Teams. For XU Xin, he has been preparing here for half a month to get ready for tonight.
