Para Table Tennis

Para Table Tennis is a celebration of lightning-fast reflexes, sharp strategy and unmatched anticipation. Practiced in more than 100 countries and with 40 million players worldwide, it is the third largest Paralympic sport in terms of athlete numbers. Athletes compete in singles, doubles and mixed doubles events, aiming to outwit opponents by sending a lightweight ball past their reach with a racket. Games take place across a table with a net and are played to 11 points, requiring a 2-point margin to win and matches are decided in a best-of-five format. Athletes are grouped into 11 sport classes with competitions for players who use wheelchairs, standing players with physical impairments and players with intellectual impairments. Since making its Paralympic debut at the first Games in 1960, 28 years before Table Tennis made its Olympic debut, Para Table Tennis has delivered high-speed rallies, precision under pressure and edge-of-your-seat excitement for fans around the world.
A Paralympic table tennis player, wearing a vibrant red and yellow shirt, is in action as he hits the ball. The athlete, who is a hand amputee, has the paddle strapped to his residual limb with a red and blue strap. The ball is visible in mid-air, heading towards the player against a dark background.
