体坛英语新闻:China pockets Swaythling Cup, losing Corbillon at Moscow worlds
Wang Yuegu could not hold her tears back during the interview after the match.
"The hard earned success means a lot to me at my age. I played table tennis for years in different countries, and paid much to the sports. Here I want to thank my family, who support me all these years," the 30-year-old player said.
"What I want to do most is to thank my coach, and to share the joy of victory with my mom," Feng Tianwei said, "The win is surely a great encouragement for me, building me more confidence for the 2012 London Olympics."

The Singapore's head coach Zhou Shusen told the media that he was actually worried about Feng's first match at the beginning.
"If Feng Tianwei lost the first match, our team would have no chance to win at all. The victory over China is definitely a historical breakthrough," he noted.
"Although Feng Tianwei has played the game for seven years, and Wang Yuegu 10 years, I still think our players are young. They still need to play hard for their beloved sports," the coach added.
Facing the intense pressure caused by the women's loss, Chinese men's team tried their best and did not let the Chinese supporters down again, by wining the final contest over Germany 3-1.
The German team, especially famed Timo Boll who is ranked world No.3, caused trouble to China, but still failed to stop the all-leading team from lifting the Swaythling Cup.
