The Chinese team is in the game.
China News Service, Beijing, July 26. On the evening of the 26th Beijing time, in the table tennis mixed doubles final of the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese combination Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen lost 3:4 to the Japanese combination Mizutani Hayabusa/Ito Mima and won the silver medal.
In the post-match interview, Liu Shiwen cried and said: "I'm sorry for our team, the whole team has paid a lot for the mixed doubles, and this task was not completed in this competition. During the competition...to the back... I really want to go. Released, some balls didn't have enough power. I'm still sorry everyone..."
Xu Xin said: "We both did a good job. The 3 and 4 games lead was not fully released. The opponent is behind and we are playing (killing) us. The quality of (we returning the ball) has decreased. I want to hit the spot first. The opponent fought more fiercely. I have been falling behind, and there are many skills and tactics in my mind, and I am not clear about the fight."

Although the results were somewhat unexpected, the two veterans have overcome many difficulties such as injuries in order to stand in the Olympics.
