TABLE TENNIS
Table Tennis

Table tennis, also known as ping-ping, is a very fast game played with a little wooden racket and a ball.

It is played on a table with a small net in the middle.

The game can be played with one or two people at each end.

The idea of the game is to land the ball on the other side of the table.

You win a point if the other person can't hit the ball back to your side of the table.

The best players can make the ball spin very fast through the air at speeds up to 100 mph.

Men's and women's singles and doubles are the four table-tennis events scheduled for the Sydney 2000 Games.

Matches are best-of-five games.
