Table tennis, a sport that originated in England at the end of the 19th century, quickly spread around the world with its unique charm.

The allure of competitive sports lies in their uncertainty and challenge. As other countries invest more in table tennis, the competition is becoming more and more fierce. In particular, Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, as well as traditional European powerhouses such as Germany and Sweden, are constantly challenging the dominance of national table tennis.
