Team Singapore Li Jiawei In Olympic Table Tennis Semi-Finals 2008

Li Jiawei of Team Singapore has qualified for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Women's Singles Table Tennis Semi-Finals today. Singapore's Li Jiawei (Singapore) defeated Wang Chen (USA) 4 - 1 at the Peking University Gymnasium during the quarter-finals table tennis competition in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games to keep the Singapore flag flying high.

Li Jiawei won her Olympic table tennis game 15:13, 11:6, 12:10, 13:15 and 11:4 to set up an Olympic Games Table Tennis semi-final encounter with number one seed Zhang Yining (China). Earlier, Zhang Yining had scraped through a tough fight during the quarter-finals table tennis match with Li Jiawei's Team Singapore compatriot Feng Tianwei.

Li Jiawei must be at her mental best to advance the flag of Team Singapore for the Olympic table tennis semi-final match because Li Jiawei had lost to Zhang Yining during the finals of the table tennis Team event competition.

While China's top seeded player is in good form, Li Jiawei must take comfort that compatriot Feng Tianwei from Singapore had done Singapore proud with her closely fought battle with China's Zhang Yining. Perhaps with this inspiration, Li Jiawei can gain table tennis insight on how to defeat China's number one table tennis player.

If Li Jiawei succeeds in her Olympic table tennis semi-final battle, she will be on her way to perhaps win an Olympic Gold or Silver medal for Singapore. If not, then the battle for an Olympic Bronze medal will be on for Li Jiawei from Singapore.

We wish Li Jiawei the best of luck in her attempt to win another Olympic table tennis medal for Singapore.

Keep up the great Olympic work, Team Singapore Table Tennis!!
