Zhang Yining and Guo Yan, both of China, picked bronze medals.

The 18-year-old Guo was jolted awake in the fifth set, sweeping three sets in a row to triumph 8-11, 11-7, 4-11, 2-11, 11-5, 11-2, 11-8.

Fourth-seeded Guo, who stunned defending Olympic and world champion Zhang Yining in the semifinals, didn't find her touch until the end of the fourth set, in which she had once trailed 0-9.

Guo used her forehand topspin and lightning backhand flicks to win the fifth set 11-5 and then the sixth 11-2.

Both players were technically correct in the final set but the championship game was usually a battle of minds. At the end of the fourth set the momentum was with Li, now it was with Guo.

Li looked disconsolate as she made errors with Guo moving into a 4-0 lead. When the players changed ends Guo was 5-0 ahead, prompting Li to call "Time Out". She returned to serve a clean ace.

Guo called "Time Out" with a 7-3 lead and then went ahead 10-4.
