History repeated itself as Chen Long beat Lee Chong-Wei again in the final Sunday to win the men's singles for the second time.

Chen won in straight sets 21-14, 21-17.

With that Chen further consolidated his world number one status.

Lee Chong-wei, however, has finished runner-up in four consecutive world championships.

Despite repeatedly missing out on the crown, 33-year-old Lee says he wants to continue until after the Rio Olympics.

In other action, top-ranked Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei retained their mixed doubles title, edging out Liu Cheng/Bao Yixin in an all-Chinese final.

Zhao Yunlei also claimed the women's doubles championship with her partner Tian Qing. They defeated a Danish pair in three sets.

And Indonesia's Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan defeated China's Liu Xiaolong/Qiu Zihan to win the men's doubles event.

All Chinese competitors suffered early exits in women's singles. That event was won by defending champion Carolina Marin.
