Table Tennis takes place between the 14th - 23rd August at the Galatsi Olympic Hall.
Chinese have dominated since the sport was added to the Olympics in 1988 - they won every available gold medal in 1996 and 2000. The top three men and top five women in the world are all Chinese. American Gao Jun, who won a women's doubles silver medal in 1992 while competing for China, represents the United States' best hope for its first medal. Last year, she became the first American since 1959 to reach the quarterfinals at the world championships.
There are four Gold Medals up for grabs in Table Tennis - the events are Men's Singles, Women's Singles, Men's Doubles and Women's Doubles. Results and Medals will be announced at the following pages as they come to hand - in the mean time keep up to date with the latest table tennis news in our Olympic Table Tennis News Archives.
