Extractions: AP SYDNEY, Sept 25 (CNNSI.com) China's Kong Linghui defeated Sweden's Jan-Ove Waldner to win the gold medal in the men's singles of table tennis Monday. Kong beat Waldner 3-2 (21-16, 21-19, 17-21, 14-21, 21-13) as China won gold medals in all four table tennis events. The 1996 Atlanta doubles gold medalist was thrilled to have triumphed over Waldner, the 1992 Barcelona gold medallist. "I watched him on television when I was a child and admired his play greatly and wanted to emulate him," Kong said. "Now I've done it," he said. China matched their tally from Atlanta in Sydney to win four golds, three silver and one bronze, leaving Sweden with just a silver, and France, Korea and Taiwan with one bronze each. Kong, who won gold in the men's doubles at Atlanta in 1996, attributed China's success largely to their training system.

Extractions: @import url(../../style/default.css); kiat.net where are you :: home Olympics Sports Table Tennis 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: Table of Contents The question of how many sports are included in the Olympics is a bit tricky, because the International Olympic Committee doesn't define a sport in quite the same way that most people do. The IOC recognizes a hierarchy of sports, disciplines, and events. To the IOC, a sport is represented by a single international governing body. To look at a concrete example, most people would say that swimming, diving, synchronised swimming, and water polo are four separate sports. However, the international governing body for all three is the Federation Internationale de Natation. In Olympic terms, therefore, the sport is aquatics. Swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo are aquatics disciplines. An event, in Olympic terms, is any competition for which medals are awarded. So men's platform diving is an event, diving is the discipline, and aquatics is the sport. It should be noted that, for many sports, the sport is also the discipline. That's true, for example, of badminton, baseball, and basketball. It's not true of archery, though; the sport is archery and the discipline is target archery. Target archery happens to be the only archery discipline included in the Olympics, but the International Archery Federation also governs competition in field archery and ski archery, which are considered separate disciplines.

A skilled player can impart spin to the ball which makes its bounce difficult to predict or return with confidence. The winner is usually the first to score 21 points although the International Rules were changed in 2001 to make the winning score 11 for international competition.

Extractions: Game similar to lawn tennis that is played on a tabletop with wooden paddles and a small, hollow, plastic ball. or (trademark) Ping-Pong The object is to hit the ball so that it goes over the net and bounces on the opponent's half of the table in such a way as to defeat the opponent's attempt to reach and return it. Both singles and doubles games are played. A match consists of the best of any odd number of games, each game being won by the player or team who first reaches 11 points or who, after 10 points each, gains a two-point lead. Invented in England in the early 20th century, it soon spread throughout the world. Since the mid-1950s, East Asian countries have dominated the sport. It has been an Olympic sport for both men and women since 1988.
