ITTF Pro Tour China Panasonic Open - Sun Bei Bei clinched Bronze in Women's Doubles!
With the absence of Singapore's Top 2 female paddlers, Li Jia Wei and Wang Yue Gu, our team did not perform as expected. Feng Tianwei lost to World No. 22, China's defender Fan Ying 4-1, whilst for Sun Bei Bei, she lost to the newly crowned Women's World Cup Silver Medalist Hong Kong's Tie Yana 4-2. Yu Meng Yu was no match against China's Liu Shiwen. She lost 4-1.

Meanwhile, the male counterparts suffered defeats as well. Yang Zi lost to Korea's defender
JOO Se Hyuk, while Ma Liang was defeated by Ma Long from China, 4-0.

On a happier note, Doubles Pair Sun Bei Bei and Netherland's Li Jie were awarded the Bronze Medal after losing to Top Seeded, China's Guo Yue and Li Xiaoxia. In the Quarter Finals, they beat Chinese Taipei's Huang Yi-Hua and Lu Yun-Feng 4-0.

Our paddlers will be returning back and celebrate their Olympic success at the Singapore Flyer on Wednesday (17/9/08)!
