Fan Zhendong, 17, is ranked third in men's table tennis ranking. He had defeated Zhang Jike, a grand slam winner, and top players like Timo Boll and Han Shuai at China's table tennis super league.
Playing at the Youth Games, Fan successfully won the singles and mixed doubles as expected, but for him the Youth Olympics is just a confidence booster. Fan is aiming to repeat his feat at the Rio Olympics 2016 and becomes the first one ever to crown double champion on both Youth and major Olympics.
