Chinese athlete Fan Zhendong became the champion in men's singles table tennis at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Remarkably, this is his first individual Olympic gold medal. At the previous Tokyo Olympics, Fan won in the team event.
In the final, Fan defeated Sweden's Truls Moregard with a score of 4:1. The Swedish player won the first set, but then Fan completely dominated the game, winning the next four sets.
The bronze medal was won by Frenchman Felix Lebrun, who defeated Brazil's Hugo Calderano in the third-place match with a score of 4:0.
