China clinched the table tennis women's team gold at the Beijing Olympic Games on Sunday, after fighting off a strong challenge from Singapore to win the final 3-0.

It was the 17th gold medal that China won at the Olympic table tennis competition since the sport was introduced at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.

Finishing the second, Singapore won its first Olympic medal in 48 years since a silver by weightlifter Tan Howe Liang in 1960.

The bronze medal went to South Korea.
