The Chinese captured four of the six titles on offer in the 20th Asian Junior Table Tennis Championships that concluded at the Sardar Patel Stadium here today.
South Korea deservingly took the cadet boys singles crown while Japan had to be satisfied with the junior boys doubles title.
All in all the Chinese domination was, more or less, complete taking into account the total number of medals they won in singles and doubles and in team events to six. They also won five silvers and four bronze to stay atop the medals table.
Korea, with two gold, two silver and five bronze medals are just behind the leader while Japan, with two gold, two silver and three bronze medals are third in the order. Taipei with one gold, one silver and three bronze are next with Hong Kong (0-1-5) and North Korea (two bronze) following them.
