CHENGDU, China, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) — China won its fifth consecutive women's team title after sweeping Japan 3-0 at the World Team Table Tennis Championships here on Saturday.
It was also a record-extending 22nd time for China to have lifted the Corbillon Cup in history.

"We made a lot of preparation for the final, and our tactics laid out by the coach were fully reflected today," said Chen. "The fans' cheering gave me much motivation."
