We have been waiting for 48 years for an Olympic medal and we will not have to do that any longer now. That is because our women table tennis team has made it to the finals! Yes they finally made it! The team, comprising of my favourite Li Jiawei, Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu defeated the team from South Korea in the semi-finals. It wasnt an easy victory though. They had to work hard for it.
The match took almost 3 hours or so and it needed the entire 5 sets. We won the first set, lost the second, win again in the third, lost in the fourth, and last but finally, came out victorious in the fifth and final set. The saviour of the day though was not Li Jiawei, it was Feng Tianwei. I think she was the main reason why we won the match. It was a great match as well, end to end stuff.
So we await the winner of the other semi-final match which is between China, the No.1 seed and Hong Kong. Whatever the result in the final is, we are assured to get a medal, at least the silver medal. Before the tournament started, everybody would be happy with any medal but I think right now, we should try and aim for the gold medal. We are in the final afterall, so why not go all the way.
Im excited for the team and I cant wait for the final which is going to happen this Sunday. You can do it girls! And last but not least, I just want to say that I love Li Jiawei which gives me an extra motivation to support the team.
