Ping-pong, also known as table tennis, originated in late 19th-century England. It began as an adaptation of tennis, intended for indoor use, particularly in the living rooms of the wealthy. Early games were played with books as rackets, a cork ball, and everyday objects transformed into an improvised net. This family pastime quickly became a game in its own right, gaining popularity over time.
Over the course of the 20th century, ping-pong underwent numerous technical developments. Rackets were refined, balls moved from cork to celluloid and then to more modern materials, and the rules were gradually codified. The sport eventually spread beyond the domestic sphere to become an international discipline, eventually making its official Olympic debut in Seoul in 1988.
Today, table tennis is a universal sport, appreciated as much for its competitive dimension as for its fun aspect. It is played by millions of players around the world, in settings as varied as clubs, schools, parks, and high-level competitions.
