Sun Yingsha, the 22‑year‑old Chinese table‑tennis prodigy who entered the Paris 2024 Games as the world’s top seed, has once again opened up about the sting of her Olympic defeat. In a candid interview with the Chinese edition of T magazine released on August 28, she described how the gold‑medal loss to teammate Chen Meng in the women’s singles final—2‑4 after a hard‑fought match—left her “with a knot in my heart” that only the recent triumph at the Doha World Championships could finally untie.

Liang/Wang Duo Stumbles in World Championships Round of 16, Sparking Fan Outcry and Strategic Reassessment in Chinese Badminton】

The Chinese men’s doubles pairing of Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang – colloquially known in China as the “Liang/Wang duo” (梁王组合) – arrived in Paris for the 2025 Badminton World Championships with a mixture of confidence and expectation. The pair, already established as one of the nation’s premier doubles teams, opened their campaign on a high note, beating the Spanish side of Alejandro Garcia and Carlos Martínez in straight games, 21‑16, 21‑19. The second game of that match offered a glimpse of the resilience that would define their early showing: trailing 8‑15, Liang and Wang rallied to level the score at 19‑19 before clinching the set two points later.

Invictus Gaming (iG) reclaimed the spotlight in the latest week of the League of Legends Pro League, delivering a decisive 2‑0 sweep over Bilibili Gaming (BLG) in the third segment of the 2025 regular season. The triumph, which came on the heels of a series of dramatic “flip” encounters between the two squads, reaffirmed iG’s reputation for turning the tide late in a game—a pattern that has become a hallmark of their rivalry with BLG.
