Table tennis tables have been a common site across the UK for many years. As the summer approaches their popularity is due to make a resurgence, as a young audience takes to table tennis.
Table tennis has been popular since 1900, when James Gibb termed the name ping pong, and ping pong tables with celluloid balls were invented. The first ping pong association was founded in the UK in 1902, and the sport of tabletennis is now a global phenomenon.
Table tennis became an Olympic sport in 1988, with singles and doubles competition for both men and women, and 2007 world champions are Chinese players Wang Liqin and Guo Yue.
The Uk has had its fair share of success in the sport over the years, but the Chinese now dominate. But a table tennis table is an affordable and fun sport that anyone can play at home – and set their sights on world competition!
