The Olympic Games table tennis events first started in 1988 - in Seoul, South Korea.

The total number of players is also set at 86 men and 86 women.

So, let's take a look at which events are now included in the table tennis programme, how players qualify, and the format of the various events...

Well, the table tennis competition currently consists of four events:

  • Men's Singles
  • Women's Singles
  • Men's Teams
  • Women's Teams

The team events replaced the doubles events in 2008.

The maximum number of players who can take part in the Olympic Games table tennis events are 86 men and 86 women - with not more than three men and three women from each National Olympic Committee (NOC).

Additionally, in 2012, the maximum number of players per NOC who could take part in the singles events was reduced from three to two.

However, this means that the rivalry between the different nationalities is more intense, and provides excellent matches.

There's a complicated system of qualification for the Olympic Games table tennis events, but without getting too bogged down with the full details, here's a brief summary...

Singles Events

For each of the singles events a maximum of 64 players, with not more than two players from the same NOC, can qualify.
