TPO - Wang Chuqin, a Chinese table tennis player, and his teammates won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics after defeating Lee Jeong-sik and Kim Geum-yong of North Korea in the mixed doubles final. While Wang Chuqin was celebrating, his table tennis racket was damaged after being stepped on by many reporters.
Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are the pair of world No. 1 players. Therefore, it is not surprising that they won 4-2 and won the first gold medal for Chinese table tennis at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
After the match, Wang Chuqin is expected to continue to bring success to the national team in the men's singles and men's team events, when he meets Sweden's Trulls Moregard in the singles and meets the Indian team in the team match.
But it is worth mentioning that while celebrating the gold medal, Wang Chuqin lost his "favorite" racket. The reason was because it was trampled by the photojournalists. While rushing to capture Wang Chuqin's happy moment, they pushed and shoved him, not paying attention, leading to his racket being trampled.

He looked at the photographers and protested because this athlete would have to use a spare racket for the remaining matches. In a major tournament like the Olympics, this would certainly make the athletes feel uncomfortable. The Chinese athlete emphasized that this was his lucky racket and it would cause him a lot of difficulties in the remaining journey. But he was comforted by his teammates and coach. When he calmed down, Wang Chuqin said: "A photographer stepped on my table tennis racket and broke it. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but as photographers for the Olympics, they should have paid more attention. I felt really upset. I don't understand why it happened, but it happened so I had to accept it. I think I can play well even with spare table tennis rackets. Maybe this is my fate."
