Ping-Pong Diplomacy (April 6 - 17, 1971)
One of the first public hints of improved U.S.-China relations came on April 6, 1971, when the American Ping-Pong team, in Japan for the 31st World Table Tennis Championship, received a surprise invitation from their Chinese colleagues for an all-expense paid visit to the People's Republic. Time magazine called it "The ping heard round the world." On April 10, nine players, four officials, and two spouses stepped across a bridge from Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland, ushering in an era of "Ping-Pong diplomacy." They were the first group of Americans allowed into China since the Communist takeover in 1949.
th to 17 th , a delighted American public followed the daily progress of the visit in newspapers and on television, as the Americans playedand lost exhibition matches with their hosts, toured the Great Wall and Summer Palace, chatted with Chinese students and factory workers, and attended the Canton Ballet.
Premier Chou En-lai worked the public relations opportunity beautifully, receiving the Americans at a banquet in the Great Hall of the People on April 14. "You have opened a new chapter in the relations of the American and Chinese people," he told the unlikely diplomats. "I am confident that this beginning again of our friendship will certainly meet with majority support of our two peoples." He also extended an invitation for more American journalists to visit China, provided they do not "all come at one time." That same day, the U.S. announced plans to remove a 20-year embargo on trade with China. A Chinese table tennis team reciprocated by visiting the United States.

INTRODUCTION - TABLE TENNIS OR PING-PONG?
Volume I (1928-1939)
HISTORY OF U.S. TABLE TENNIS that it seems to be the first question asked by someone just becoming aware of the Sport. is undeniably, a Sport any difference between the two: Ping-Pong and Table Tennisthey're the same thing." History of U.S. Table Tennis has quickly to acknowledge the not so civil wars fought and re-fought over the use of the two terms. Even as I begin here in the beginning to give you a brief commentary on the origin of the Sport, the divisiveness can't help but be apparent. Ping-Pong: The Game, Its Tactics And Laws (a re-write of his 1928 Manual), Cornelius G. Schaad (Schaad as in SHAD-ow), of New York's Westchester Ping-Pong coteriea lawyer by profession and in Ping-Pong a blatant propagandist for the Salem, Massachusetts-based, games-oriented Parker Brothers and their American Ping-Pong Association suggests that the game's origin was not in England, as is generally recognized, but in the U.S. Table Tennis: The Early Years. Shell Book of Firsts (5) points out, the first table tennis sets were manufactured by the English firm of J. Jaques and Sonand it's to a connection with this firm that Schaad alludes (27-28).

Misc The History of Table Tennis By the early years of this century, Ping-Pong had already acquired some of its present day complexities, though it was still seen by many as an after -dinner amusement rather than a sport. An account published in 1903 found it necessary to warn against wearing a dress suit and stiff shirt-or, for ladies, a white satin gown-but went on to give detailed technical advice about pimpled rubber, the penholder grip and tactics. The game was popular in Central Europe in 1905-10, and even before this is a modified version had been introduced to Japan , where it later spread to China and Korea. After a period when it had dropped out of favor in Europe, the game was revived in England and Wales in the early twenties. by that time 'Ping-Pong' had been registered as a trademark, so the earlier name of table tennis was re-introduced. National associations were formed and standardization of the rules began, both in Europe and the Far East. Then, over the next sixty years, table tennis developed into a major worldwide sport, played by perhaps thirty million competitive players and by uncountable millions who play less seriously. However, the game itself has not changed in essence since its earliest days, though it is faster, more subtle and more demanding than it was even only twenty years ago. a constant concern of the ITTF has always been to insure that table tennis remains a contest of human skills and that technological developments which add a new factor to the game do not give too great an advantage to the players who have the first opportunity of making use of them. Thus, equipment specifications are carefully laid down, and rigorously enforced.

What defines a sport? Like a ping-pong match, the debate goes back and forth
By DAVID ANDRIESEN P-I REPORTER Search for "cup stacking" on YouTube, and you can watch more than 1,000 videos of people taking nested stacks of plastic cups and arranging them into pyramids and back again so quickly the whole thing is almost a blur. From bobsledding to ballroom dancing, how 31 competitive activities score on criteria to decide if they're sports or not It's impressive. It takes skill and agility. But is it a sport? Stacking supporters think so. In 2005, the governing body changed the name officially to "sport stacking." "When people challenge me on whether it's a sport, I usually turn it around on them," said Matt Reed, executive director of the World Sport Stacking Association. "I ask them, 'What's your definition of sport?' Invariably many of the things they mention are involved in our sport." ESPN shows poker, cheerleading, arm wrestling and, yes, sport stacking.

Motion of a Ping-Pong
Have you ever use your finger to press down one side of the ping-pong ball?If you press hard enough, you will find ping-pong ball running away from you.However, a few seconds later, the ping-pong starts to rolling back toward you. Why?
The ball starts with an initial velocity Vo,
and an initial angular velocity w o
Due to the friction force between ping-pong ball and the table
F u =u mg . (Blue arrow)
The center of mass of the ping-pong ball will slow down.
V= Vo - a t
The friction force will produce a torque ( r u mg
where r is the radius of the ball )
to change its rotating speed w = w o - t * (r u mg)/I where I is the moment of inertia of the ball. When the velocity of the contact point related to the table V - r w becomes zero, the friction force vanishes. The motion become a free rolling (rolling without slipping). V = r w Is it passible to let the ball stop? (velocity V=0.) or moving forward(V>0.)? Under what kinds of conditions? This java applet let you play with it. Enjoy!
