Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search The origin of table tennis has never been exactly pinpointed, even though it's a relatively young sport, younger than lawn tennis and not much older than basketball. The earliest known form of the sport, called indoor tennis, was played in the early 1880s by British army officers in India and South Africa, using lids from cigar boxes as paddles and rounded corks from wine bottles as balls, with a row of books set up across the middle of a table to form the net. Other versions developed in England during the 1890s, known variously as "whiff whaff" and "gossima," and Parker Brothers began manufacturing an indoor tennis kit that included a portable net that could be set up on a table, a small ball covered with netting, and miniature paddles. James Gibb, an Englishman who visited the United States in 1900, brought some hollow celluloid balls home and began playing indoor tennis with friends, using the new balls. Gibb apparently came up with the name "ping pong," representing the sounds of the ball hitting the paddle and then the table. However, an English manufacturer of sporting goods, John Jacques, registered "Ping Pong" as a trade name in 1901 and sold American rights to Parker Brothers, who came out with a new kit under that name.

Hi-tech rackets propel the ball at speeds of up to 160kph. The use of different adhesives in the construction of rackets has led to many of them being banned from Olympic competition some combinations of adhesive added up to 30km/hr to the speed the ball travels at. The sport made its Olympic debut at Seoul in 1988 and the Chinese have dominated, winning 10 of the 12 gold medals awarded, including all six in the women's competition. There is every chance the trend will continue in Sydney. Among the men there are four Chinese in the top 10 ranked players, according to the sport's governing body, the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

And while it is true that nothing lends itself to unalloyed, computer-nerd number crunching quite like the Games, we can only begin to digest the raw data now and to quantify all those who qualified. The most we can do is sweep the sands with a medal detector and suss out the superlatives, the sublime, the silly: the bests, the worsts, the lasts, the firsts. The centennial of the modern Olympic Games was not simply an occasion to recall firsts but to create them. Leave it to Greece to gloriously combine the two in Atlanta and win its most medals (eight) since Athens first hosted the world in 1896. First For the first time in Olympic history, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Syria won gold medals. Hong Kong won its first and last gold medal; it will become part of China in 1997. Second The second-place finish in the men's 100-meter sprint, by Frankie Fredericks of Namibia, was good enough to have won gold in every previous Olympics.
