Zhang Jike (L) and Wang Hao of China compete against the Republic of Korea during the men's team table tennis gold medal match on Day 12. |
Profiting from being on home soil in Beijing four years ago, the Asian powerhouse won every top prize on offer.
That has proved to not just be a flash in the pan following more domination at the London 2012 Games.
Indeed, China has achieved a maximum haul of four golds and two silvers following the efforts of their men today.
Republic of Korea's trio of Ryu Seung-min, Joo Sae-hyuk and Oh Sang-eun had no answer to their opponents and fell to a comprehensive 3-0 defeat.
The victory followed up the team success of China's women yesterday as well as the individual golds claimed by Zhang and Li Xiaoxia.
Germany took the bronze medal as their trio of Timo Boll, Dimitrij Ovtcharov and Bastian Steger beat Hong Kong 3-1.
