Popularly known as ‘ping-pong’, the sport consists of two players either side of a waist-high table using small bats to hit a light, plastic ball over the net and onto the other side, winning a point if the opponent fails to return it.
The ninja-like reflexes of the players cannot fail but amaze those watching – just imagine trying to return a smash travelling at full pace towards you from the bat of an Olympic champion.
