JAKARTA, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese table tennis pair Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha came back from two games down to triumph in an all-Chinese final against Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu and claim the mixed doubles gold medal at the 18th Asian Games here on Thursday.

China secured a one-two finish as both of their pairs moved through Wednesday's semifinals.

The two pairs were involved in an intense first-game contention, going neck-and-neck to 12-all, before Lin and Wang snatched two points in a row to take an initiative at 14-12.

The Lin/Wang duo continued their momentum to take away the second game 11-9.

However, Wang and Sun, the younger and more energetic pair, regrouped themselves to bag the victory of the following four games 14-12, 13-11, 11-7, 11-7.

China reclaimed the gold medal of the event that it lost at the 2014 Incheon Games.
