Game Highlights

The women's table tennis teams of South Korea and Germany are both established strong teams in table tennis. The former has won many good results in international competitions. Since the start of the team competition in the 2008 Olympics, it has been slightly sluggish, but it has recovered this year and successfully entered the semi-finals. The German team seized the opportunity in 2016 and won the Olympic silver medal, but has not been able to reproduce its glory since then. This year, the German women's team suffered a major blow. The starting main force Han Ying was absent due to injury, and the second main force Mittenham also withdrew from the team competition. Although the strength is inferior to that of South Korea, the rise of 18-year-old Kaufman has given the team some expectations. She has defeated many strong players, making the bronze medal battle full of suspense.
