Adding to the excitement, young French sensation Felix Lebrun made headlines by clinching the bronze medal in a thrilling match against Brazil's Hugo Calderano, marking France’s first table tennis medal since the year 2000. The teenager's success not only thrilled the home crowd but also added a youthful flair to the tournament, suggesting that the future of table tennis may be in good hands. As Zhendong reveled in his victory, fans cheered for both the seasoned champion and the rising star of table tennis.

While Zhendong’s gold highlights his individual success, it also shines a light on the sport’s power to unite fans across the globe.

This nation’s rich tradition and commitment to excellence in table tennis have turned it into a national treasure of sorts. Additionally, Fan Zhendong’s achievement adds to his reputation of completing the 'Super Grand Slam,' which involves winning all major titles and tournaments at least once, a feat that very few players have achieved!
