Welcome to the Tokyo Olympics 2020! :biggrin:

~This thread is all about Table Tennis~


Table tennis has been an official event at every Summer Olympics since 1988. This year, a total of 172 athletes will compete in five medal events: men's singles, men's team, women's singles, women's team, and mixed doubles.

The schedule can be found here.

Use this thread to make your predictions about these sports, and discuss the events as they happen. :smile:

The Chinese are the top favorite as usual. I bet on that most of the gold medals - and the other ones - go to these table tennis players.

HK one game from bronze.

HK has done it!
First medal in table tennis since 2004!
Ironically, one of the 2004 medalists was the coach of those three who won today. That guy became the first person from HK to win an Olympic medal as both an athlete and a coach.
By the way, I appreciate the mentality of Team HK. Three epic comebacks to win a game.

Silver for the German team, I did not really expect that it beats the overwhelming Chinese contestants. Congratulations, that is a great success! :king2:
