Photos | Wang Chuqin's table tennis racket broken after photographer's accidental stepping

China's Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha beat North Korea 4-2 to win the gold medal in the mixed doubles table tennis final at 20:30 yesterday (July 30) at the Paris Olympics. However, after the match, Wang Chuqin's racket was stepped on by a photographer in the Olympic stadium.

After the incident, Wang noted that the photographer stepped on the racket and broke it, saying that even though the one was an Olympic photographer, he shouldn't have done this.

"I think this kind of situation makes me a little bit out of control, and I don't understand why he would do that, but it can't be helped when it happens... it's God's will. I can still play with a subboard, though."
