Olympics - Table Tennis event explained

Description

The Olympic Table Tennis competition will see 172 competitors (86 men and 86 women) battle it out in four events: men’s singles, women’s singles and men’s and women’s teams. Power, skill and lightning-quick reflexes are required to win at table tennis, which is based on the same principles as its tableless namesake. A point is won if the opponent fails to return the ball, hits the net or misses the table. Eleven points are needed to win a set. Each game is the best of five sets.

Peng made sexual assault accusations against a former politician and was not heard from for nearly three weeks, while her claims were rapidly censored. She later appeared on state media in several videos and held a video call with Bach in which she said she was safe and well, however concerns remain. SOUNDBITE
