The Chinese women's table tennis team won't repeat Busan mistakes in the Doha Asian Games, head coach Shi Zhihao said on Sunday after a training session at the Al Arabi Indoor Hall.

"The Busan failure still hurts, but we should look forward," said Shi, referring to the disappointing results of Chinese women players who lost the team and doubles gold medals four years ago in South Korea.

"Our top priority has been to build a better team for the Asian Games," added Shi, a former men's team coach who had just concluded his first year as the women's head coach.

Shi deemed the table tennis competition at Asian Games as even more heated than international events since most of the world top paddlers are from Asia. But he showed confidence and determination whatsoever.

"The Chinese women's team is teemed with top players and we are determined to bag more gold medals than what we did four years ago."
