OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Table tennis is lobbying for the inclusion of a mixed doubles or mixed teams event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The International Table Tennis Federation says its president, Thomas Weikert, raised the proposal during a meeting with IOC President Thomas Bach. Table tennis currently has four medal competitions in the Olympics: men's and women's singles and men's and women's team events.

Weikert says "we have tried in the past to get the mixed doubles or mixed teams in the table tennis Olympic program." He says "my conversations with President Bach were positive, so we hope that we will have a fifth table tennis gold medal added by Tokyo 2020."

Under Bach, the IOC has approved changes to make the Olympic program more flexible and move from a sport-based to an event-based system.

just word play, they have tried in the past, they are trying againn, they should always try
I think we should have backhand TT , Forehand TT , long distance TT 101, games up to 1
a swimmer could go in 10 events
also I don't like the fact that the players who play in the individual must play in teams
Is that a rule for any other Olympic sport ? maybe other raquet one's

What a brilliant idea! An event for LP TT, another one for SP TT, one for inverted, one for penhold, one for old 40mm ball, one for 38mm, etc.

It's time the ITTF realizes that OOAK is an incubator for the best table tennis ideas.

Let's face it, though - we'll never have as many medals as, say, boxing or tae kwon do. Not until we have weight divisions in table tennis.
