Not even a 6.2 earthquake that rocked Tokyo at 5:20am could stop the Chinese women from claiming the Corbillon Cup.
For the women's team finals, there were no surprises as the Chinese
team, which consisted of the world's top three players, LIU Shiwen, DING
Ning and LI Xiaoxia, whitewashed second seeded Japan 3-0.
To the dismay of the sold out crowd, the Japanese team of ISHIGAKI Yuka,
ISHIKAWA Kasumi and HIRANO Sayaka were unable to replicate their
successful performance in the semifinals the day before, where they came
back from 0-1 to defeat Hong Kong.
Despite the Japanese team not winning gold, they were satisfied to make
their first final in 31 years in this home country. The star of their
team Kasumi ISHIKAWA stated: "As a team of five we overcame difficult
situations. For example we came close to losing in the quarterfinals but
overcame in the end, which gave us great confidence. We played as a
team, with a big crowd giving us energy, and we played at our best."
At the conclusion of the event the local Japanese organizers handed over
the International Table Tennis Federation flag to the next organizer in
Suzhou, China, which will host the 2015 World Individual Championships
on 26 April – 3 May 2015.
