London 2012: Singles joy short-lived for Miao

MIAO Miao’s Olympic table tennis singles campaign started with a win but finished just hours later on Sunday morning.

The former Broadmeadows resident was a four sets to two winner against Czech Dana Hadacova in her first round of the women’s singles event.

But Chinese Taipei’s Yi-Hua Huang proved too strong with a four sets to love win in the second round.

The 31-year-old Chinese-born Miao will now compete in the team events for Australia, whose first-round opponent is Germany on Friday.
