Table Tennis
History of Table Tennis
Table Tennis began as an after-dinner game, played by upper-class English families. It is now the world’s biggest participation sport, with 40 million competitive players.
Table Tennis has come a long way from its beginnings in the 19th century, when cigar boxes and carved champagne corks were used as bats and balls. Today’s top players use high-tech rackets, hitting the ball at speeds of more than 100mph (160kph).
Table Tennis at the Games
Table Tennis entered the Olympic programme at Seoul 1988, and has featured in every Games since. The sport was an instant hit with television viewers, especially in Asia, where most of the world's top players are based.
China has dominated Olympic Table Tennis, but challengers are emerging from other countries, including Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in time for London 2012.
Venue: ExCeL
Dates: Saturday 28 July – Wednesday 8 August
Gold medals up for grabs: 4
Athletes: 172 (86 men, 86 women)
