PARIS (Reuters) - China's Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha beat North Korea's Ri Jong Sik and Kim Kum Yong 4-2 in the table tennis mixed doubles final to win the gold medal on Tuesday.

South Korea's Lim Jonghoon and Shin Yubin defeated Hong Kong's Wong Chun-ting and Doo Hoi Kem 4-0 to take the bronze. 

Meanwhile, Chen Meng, China's reigning table tennis singles gold medallist, carved a path to the round of 16 by defeating the formidable Swedish player Linda Bergstrom 4-1 on Tuesday.

Bergstrom, known for her defensive chopping style, refused to give Chen an easy glide to victory. Her technique, less common in Asia these days, caught Chen off guard in the first game, which Bergstrom won 11-8.

Unfazed by the initial setback, Chen quickly recalibrated.
