As a tune-up for the April 21-28 world championships in Budapest, The Marvellous 12 tournament in Shenzhen afforded Chinese paddlers a great opportunity to hone their skills.
The experience was especially precious for China's rising crop of young players.
On the men's side, the brightest star is 22-year-old world No 1 Fan Zhendong, who reeled off 11 straight wins en route to becoming the Marvellous 12 champion.
