BEIJING, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Singapore was guaranteed their first Olympic medal since 1960 -- and only its second of all time -- when they beat South Korea on Friday to advance to the women's team championship in table tennis.
A weightlifting silver in 1960 in Rome has stood as the city-state's only Olympic medal.
Singapore will face the winner of a semi-final between China and Hong Kong. If Singapore's women lose the championship match on Sunday, they would still take home the silver.
