China's world number-1 table tennis player Wang Chuqin suffered a crushing defeat, embarrassed due to broken racket

Today is the 5th day of the Paris Olympics. There is a race for medals among the athletes. Meanwhile, disappointing news has come to the fore. World number one table tennis player Wang Chuqin of China had to face defeat in the men's singles on Wednesday. A day before this defeat, his bat broke on Tuesday. Wang Chuqin won the gold medal in mixed doubles on Tuesday and captured it.

After the victory, a photographer accidentally broke his bat while jostling to take a picture. The very next day, in the 32nd round, Truls Moregaard defeated Wang Chuqin 4-2. Moregaard could not believe his victory either. The audience cheered Moregaard. He sat down on the ground and held his head.

The last few days have been full of ups and downs for 24-year-old Wang. Earlier, she had defeated North Korea in the mixed doubles final along with Sun Yingsha. However, Wang admitted that she "lost a little control over her emotions" after her table tennis bat broke.

After losing to Morgaard, Wang did not blame the bat. He told news agency AFP, "It really had no effect on the match. My opponent played really well." Wang now has to participate in the men's team event. Moregaard said, he felt that I could beat him today, I tried for the last 8 times but it never happened.

"I almost never win a set against Wang, so it's a great pleasure to win here at the Olympics," the Swede, who reached the last 16 for the first time, told AFP. Moregaard, who is trained by his elder brother Malte, said Wang did not play her best. He said it had nothing to do with the Chinese player's bat. "I think you have at least 10 rackets and there are 500 rubbers here, so if you lose your bat it doesn't matter," he said.
