Olympic Table Tennis is a fast-paced sport featured in the Summer Olympics. It involves two players in singles matches or four players in doubles matches, competing to score points by hitting a lightweight ping pong ball over a net on a rectangular table. Players use paddles to strike the ball, aiming to make it bounce on the opponent's side of the table without being returned. The sport has been part of the Olympic program since the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Competitors are categorized by gender, with separate events for men's and women's singles and doubles. The game requires quick reflexes, strategic thinking, and precise ball control.
