World Table Tennis Day, Tue Apr 6th, 2021
What about table tennis at the Olympics?
Table tennis is a relatively new sport to the Olympic Games, having only made its debut at Seoul 1988. China has dominated the sport, winning 28 of the 32 gold medals available since then – South Korea (three) and Sweden (one) have claimed the other four between them.
From its inception until Athens 2004, the four events on offer were men’s and women’s singles and doubles. Since Beijing 2008, the doubles events have been replaced by team events, which feature up to four singles rubbers and a doubles rubber. China has won every table tennis event since Beijing.
