ITTF Pro Tour Chile Open - 2 Golds, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze!
Our paddlers completed a great haul of medals in the Chile Open which concluded this morning.

Li Jia Wei won her sixth ITTF Pro Tour Women's Singles title of her career as she justified her top seeded position in the Women's Singles event. She beat Korea's top defensive paddler, Kim Kyung Ah, in a hard fought seven games final.

Li Jia Wei maintained her focus and kept her patience to win 6-11, 11-9, 9-11, 11-5, 5-11, 11-7, 11-7.

Gao Ning and Yang Zi did well in the Doubles Event once again, beating the newly paired Hong Kong's Cheung Yuk and Li Ching in the Finals. They even forced the Hong Kong coach to call 'Time Out' during the fifth game.

Gao and Yang won with a impressive 4-1 win (11-6, 11-5, 11-7, 5-11, 11-2).

Li, however, had to settle for Silver in the Women's Doubles Event. They suffered defeat in the battle against Hong Kong's Tie Yana and Jiang Hua Jun. They lost 4-2.

The paddlers will continue to work hard for the upcoming Beijing Olympics.
