Chen Long won the BWF Superseries Finals in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, on Sunday by downing compatriot Du Pengyu, while China also took the women's singles and women's doubles crowns.

Chen, the No. 2 seed, bested Du 21-12, 21-13 to take home the championship while in the women's singles, Chinese Olympic champion Li Xuerui, the top seed, beat countrywoman Wang Shixian 21-9, 15-4 after the third seed retired from the match.

China also took the top spot in the women's doubles, where fourth seeds Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang defeated Denmark's Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl 21-16, 21-14.

In the mixed doubles, Joachim Fischer Nielsen and Pedersen beat No. 4 Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei 17-21, 21-12, 21-14.

Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen of Denmark beat second seeds Hiroyuki Endo and Kenichi Hayakawa of Japan 21-17, 21-19 to defend their men's doubles championship.
