Table tennis Olympics odds
Table Tennis at the Summer Olympics
Table tennis has been a part of the Summer Olympic Games since 1988 and has become one of the most popular sports in the last decade, with an estimated 300 million people worldwide playing the game.
Because of China's dominance in the sport, the format for the 2012 Olympics was revised, allowing only two competitors from each nation to compete. This structure prevents a single nation from winning all three top medals, as was the case during the Beijing Olympic tournament's Individual Men's and Women's competitions, where China dominated and won all six medals. To reduce the emphasis on doubles play, the doubles events were replaced with team events in 2008.
Highest Medalist Nations
Everyone knows that China is the world's biggest table tennis champion. It's no surprise, Chinese ping pong players have dominated world championship events for nearly half a century. And China won all of the gold medals in the sport at both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.
China (CHN) total 53 and gold 28, South Korea (KOR) total 18 and gold 3, Sweden (SWE) total 3 and gold 1, Germany (GER) total 7 and gold 0, Japan (JPN) total 4 and gold 0.
