Table tennis is an Olympic sport. Table tennis has been an official sport of the Olympic Games since the 1988 Seoul Olympics, with the addition of mixed doubles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Table tennis includes men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.

Table tennis is known as China's “national sport” and is characterized by offense, confrontation and defense. In all Olympic Games, Chinese players have performed well in table tennis and have won gold medals many times. For example, Chinese players have won 6 titles in men's singles and 9 titles in women's singles.

In addition, the rules and program settings of table tennis competitions have gone through many adjustments, for example, starting from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the men's and women's doubles events were abolished and replaced by the men's and women's team events.
