Hangzhou 2023

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).
