Table Tennis
Table tennis, or ping pong, originated in 19th-century England. Initially played informally with books as rackets and a dining table as the surface, it gained structure in the 1880s through social clubs, leading to the formation of the English Table Tennis Association in 1902. The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) was established in 1926 in Berlin, marking its global regulation. Today, it’s an official Olympic sport with widespread popularity.
