"Table tennis stars auction trophies: "HONG KONG (AP) - Hong Kong's table tennis stars are auctioning off recently won trophies from Europe to raise money for tsunami survivors.

Doubles partners Li Ching and Ko Lai-chak, who won silver at the Olympics Games in Athens last year, will sell their trophies from recent wins in Slovenia and Croatia, the Hong Kong Table Tennis Association said in a statement Thursday. The trophies will be auctioned before the final match of a local tournament on Sunday.

Other items used by the Hong Kong table tennis team will also be sold, it said. Proceeds will be donated to the Hong Kong Red Cross."
