Ding Ning became the new Grand Slam winner of table tennis here on Wednesday after winning in full sets over defending champion Li Xiaoxia in an all-Chinese women's singles final in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

在周三进行的2016年里约奥运会女子乒乓球单打决赛中，丁宁击败了中国队的队友、奥运卫冕冠军李晓霞，成为了新的大满贯得主。

The 26-year-old top seed held well her nerve to win over her teammate 11-9, 5-11, 14-12, 9-11, 8-11, 11-7, 11-7.

这位26岁的赛事头号种子选手保持了冷静，以11比9、5比11、14比12、9比11、8比11、11比7、11比7的比分，苦战七局击败了自己的队友。

"I'm happy with the result and have also enjoyed the process," said Ding at a post-match press conference.

在赛后新闻发布会上，丁宁说道：“我对这一结果很高兴，并且享受整个过程。”

It was the first time in the sport's 28-year history since the game was introduced to the 1988 Seoul Games that the same two players entered a singles final in back-to-back Olympic Games.

这是这项运动自1988年引入到首尔奥运会后，第一次出现两位相同的选手在连续两届奥运会中在决赛相遇。

Four years ago in London, Ding lost to Li after being deducted¹ three points by Italian umpire² Paola Bongelli. The twice world champion, however, declined to call it a revenge.

四年前的伦敦，丁宁在被意大利裁判葆拉·邦姬妮扣掉三分之后，输给了李晓霞。不过这位两届世界冠军得主却拒绝将本次比赛称为复仇之战。

"Li Xiaoxia is my teammate and friend. I've learned a lot from her," she said. "After the failure in London 2012, I did thorough reflection and confirmed that I did want to continue fighting."

她说：“李晓霞是我的队友，也是我的朋友。我从她身上学到了很多。在2012年伦敦奥运失利之后，我做了彻底的反思，并且确定了自己会继续战斗下去。”

Facing an opponent as tough as the 28-year-old Li, Ding had not a second on court relaxed but kept cool head when it came up to decisions until she crouched³ in court and burst into tears after sealing the victory.

面对像28岁的李晓霞这样强大的对手，丁宁在场上没有过一秒钟的放松，在比赛来到关键时刻头脑保持住了冷静，直到锁定胜局后蹲在场地上痛哭流涕。

"I think I've been more seasoned right now than four years ago," Ding said. "After making through to the final, I said to myself that I was on my way to realizing my dream and should devote everything I have for it."

丁宁说道：“相比四年前，我觉得自己现在经验更丰富。在进入决赛之后，我对自己说，我在实现梦想的路上，为了梦想我会发挥出我的一切。”
