Some glues are specifically banned from competition, not only because they can increase play speed by up to 30kph but because they emit dangerous gases. James Gibb, an English table tennis player, is credited with bringing the celluloid ball to the game. He had brought the children's toy home from the US in 1901 and decided that it would be ideal for table tennis. The game grew rapidly in Europe and the International Table Tennis Federation was founded in 1926, a year before the first world championships were held. One of the founding members of the ITTF, Hungary, dominated the sport until the 1950s, when Sweden, combining the best techniques taught by coaches around the world, took control, with China and Japan the challengers.
