Medal Moment
Table tennis: Fan Zhendong wins gold, beating Truls Möregårdh 4-1
Well, Möregårdh hasn’t been in the fifth game at all.
One incredible point from under the table by the Swede aside, Fan Zhendong has dominated in this game.
The Chinese star brings up seven gold medal points. Möregårdh saves one. Then two, then three, and four. He couldn’t, surely?
A fifth! This is what Möregårdh has been looking for in this fifth game and it’s coming now! From 3-10 down, he’s clawed it back to 8-10.
On his sixth gold medal point, Fan Zhendong sends down a brilliant backhand winner down the line to become the Olympic champion!
