The ITTF seems to like to compare themselves to other associations :oops:

I think this is good thing for our sport though, as it will give us a lot of exposure. :up:

Quote:
The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) has become only the third International Federation to hit 1,000,000 social media fans.
The historic mark was reached during the Qoros 2015 World Table Tennis Championships, which had an unprecedented following and engagement on social media.
In addition to the one million landmark, the ITTF is also celebrating reaching 200,000 Facebook fans and 55 million YouTube views, which portrays the increasing global popularity of table tennis.
The success of ITTF's social media is on the back of the strength in numbers in China, where ITTF's numbers are the highest of any international federation.
The one million social media fans is made up of all the social media platforms that the ITTF is active on:
• Sina Weibo (http://www.weibo.com/ITTFWorld) - 597,000
• Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ITTFWorld- 200,000
• Tencent Weibo (http://e.t.qq.com/ITTFWorld) - 94,000
• YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/ittfchannel) - 90,000 subscribers 55,000,000 views
• Twitter (https://twitter.com/ITTFWorld) - 15,000
• Instagram (@ITTFWorld) - 13,500
• WeChat (@ITTFWorld2014) - 6,000
Next stop is 2 million fans!

THE BITTER REALITY ITTF STILL UNWILLING TO RECOGNISE.:
--PingPang is now much far from its yesterday's popularity. The golden age of the sport is over. The everlasting dominance of China over the other world is an evil detrimental for the sport.

Hmmmm...

"But this year, though Chinese state media has covered and re-covered the London matches just as obsessively as before, somehow table tennis failed to evoke the same breath-holding and fist-waving of previous years. Even before the London games, the sport's waning popularity in China had become evident. But, just as table tennis in China was always about much more than just table tennis, so too is its decline a sign of something bigger. As the nationalism that once fueled this sport's popularity recedes, and as China focuses less within and more on the outside world, its increasingly globally minded citizens are shifting their attention to Western sports. China isn't a marginal country anymore, their thinking seems to go, so why should Chinese athletics focus on such a marginal sport?"
