The world champion Jiang Jialing, of China, was beaten by Erik Lindh, of Sweden, who went on to win the bronze medal, while Yoo Man-kyu and Kim Ki-taik made it an all-South Korean final, from which Yoo emerged the victor.

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.

Extractions: China's Kong Linghui took Olympic gold in Sydney Table tennis originated in England at the end of the 19th Century as an upper class pastime before slowly spreading around the globe to become the world's largest participation sport. The first records of the game come from the early 1880s, when British army officers in India and South Africa used lids from cigar boxes as paddles and rounded corks from wine bottles as balls. It soon found its way back to England where James Gibb, who had returned from the United States with some hollow celluloid balls, began playing indoor tennis at the turn of the century. The new game adopted a variety of names before "ping pong" - after the sound of the paddle hitting the ball - took hold. It was not until 1921 that a Table Tennis Association was founded in England, and the International Table Tennis Federation followed in 1926.
