South Korea dominate Germany for women's team table tennis bronze

South Korea overpowered Germany 3-0 to take the bronze medal in the Paris Olympic women's team table tennis competition on Saturday.

Mixed doubles bronze medallist Shin Yu Bin and Jeon Ji Hee opened up in the doubles by edging Germany's Wan Yuan and Shan Xiaona 3 games to 2.

Lee Eun Hye then hammered Annett Kaufmann 11-8, 11-9, 11-2 in the first singles to leave Jeon to wrap up the bronze with a 11-6, 11-6, 11-6 victory over Shan.

Germany can at least be consoled with being the best Europeans in a sport dominating by Asian teams.

The final between China and Japan takes place later on Saturday at the South Paris Arena as the Chinese team look to sweep all five Olympic golds in table tennis for the first time.
