Although Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen won the championship in doubles table tennis at the 2017 Dusseldorf World Table Tennis Championship on June 5, they had to settle for bronze at the 13th Chinese National Games on Sept 5.
They were defeated by Gu Yuting and Mu Zi, who then went on to defeat Zhu Mengling and Chen Meng to win gold.
