Hong Kong's women's table tennis team on Friday won bronze at the World Championships in Busan, South Korea.

They lost 3-0 to Japan in the semi-final, and pocketed the medal as there is no bronze medal match.

The team consists of Olympic medallists Doo Hoi-kem and Lee Hoi-ching, as well as Zhu Chengzhu.

Doo lost her match 3-sets-to-2 to Miwa Harimoto, while the other two bowed out in straight sets.

The Hong Kong team last finished third at the world championships in 2018, when the tournament was held in Halmstad, Sweden.
