Korean Men's Team Grabs Silver in Table Tennis

  Korean Men's Team Grabs Silver in Table Tennis

We start this morning with the latest from day twelve of the London Olympics Korea grabbed a silver Wednesday in the men's team table tennis event.
A formidable Chinese team beat the Korean trio three sets to zero in a lopsided final.
China's victory means they swept up ALL the gold medals on offer for table tennis.
However, this silver holds great value for Korea as the nation went from a bronze in 2008 to a silver this year.
This was also Korea's only table tennis medal in London.
In Taekwondo, Korea's Lee Dae-hoon secured at least a silver in the 58 kilogram category Wednesday beating Russia's Alexey Denisenko 7 to 6 in his semi-final.
Lee will face Spain's Joel Gonzales Bonilla in the final match which is set to start in less than half-an-hours time.
Korea now has 12 gold, 6 silver and 6 bronze medals and is currently ranked fourth in the overall medal standings.
