In a women's singles final just played, Japanese table tennis player Zhang Benmei and won one game first, but was beaten three games in a row by North Korean player Kim Qinying. Kim Qinying defeated Zhang Ben Miwa 3-1 and won the women's singles championship. Kim has no experience in international competitions. But she went all the way to the women's singles final and won the women's singles championship. She also finished runner-up in mixed doubles. Kim Qinying is definitely the biggest dark horse in this Asian Championships.
Zhang Benmei and failed to win the women's singles runner-up, I guess I was very depressed. finally survived the national table tennis players, but lost to the big dark horse Jin Qinying in the end. I don't know how sad Zhang Benmeihe is. She really didn't have the luck of a women's singles champion.
But sad is sad, she still has to cheer up and participate in the women's doubles final.
