SYDNEY, May 28 (Xinhua) -- South Korea won the final of the Sudirman Cup, held on Australia's Gold Coast Sunday, upsetting China 3-2.
Despite a phenomenal tournament, and a 1-0 lead after the first match, China were unable to continue their winning ways.
The South Koreans clawed their way back into the contest, with their women's singles and doubles teams snatching victories.
In the deciding mixed doubles match, China's gallant efforts weren't quite enough to overcome the precision of the South Koreans.
