Despite the fact that there are actually table tennis tournaments worldwide, particularly in China where table tennis is a major sport, the game itself does not take seriously by many people. We could discuss why this until our sun Nova, but let's leave this debate for another time.
Table tennis, or what is affectionately called the "ping pong", began as a mild diversion. He has considered with the same lack of seriousness as grass tennis and badminton. It became popular in England in the 19th century. It is known by its present name of table tennis and ping-pong and Gossima and Whiff-Whaff. The name tennis was introduced by J. Jacques et Fils. The ping-pong game was appointed by the noise of the ball made when striking the table when hit. In the ping-pong paddle time was not yet invented. Instead they used vellum bats. In a very short time, the game became a very popular way. During the period there were many paintings made of people playing table tennis, usually in an environment family.
In 1900, table tennis had already begun to assume many of the features of the game we know and love today. However, even is considered by most people after dinner entertainment rather than as a serious sport. During this period publications found it necessary to warn people place on this type of dress, which must play this game like the banning of tight clothing. These are obviously intended as a satire about the fact nobody took the game seriously.
Between 1905 and 1910, the game became very popular in Europe until he finally made his way from Japan, China and Korea where table tennis has become a lifestyle. Today, more than 4 million people in China alone play table tennis and is considered a very serious and competitive sport.
Meanwhile, having found its way into Asian countries, table tennis has begun to disappear from the European scene, but in the 1920s turned to revive in England. At that time the name "ping pong" is really becoming a trademark of the game. However, the term table tennis was kept for the more serious organizations where table tennis was actually played by sport.
During the next 60 years table tennis actually one sport in the world but never really got the recognition that other major sports obtained at the time, except in Asian countries. The game it has remained relatively unchanged since the earliest days, with the exception of bats parchment is replaced by what we call ping pong paddles. The blades have experienced some changes in what materials they are made of, but for the most part, remained unchanged since its inception.
Table Tennis may never get the respect it deserves some say, but most people admit that gambling is fun and also very hard.
