Table Tennis likely began as a social hobby in England toward the end of the 1800's. Dining-room tables and balls of cork made up some of the early equipment that was used. These early pioneers may have referred to their sport as gossima, flim-flam, or ping-pong. Around the turn of the century, the game underwent a few changes in England. One person introduced a celluloid ball to the game, while another added pimpled rubber to the wooden paddle. The recreational game lost some of its popularity until various groups around Europe revived it as "table tennis" in the 1920s. The International Table Tennis Association (ITTF) was formed in 1926. The sport soon spread to Japan and other Asian nations. The Japanese dominated the sport for much of the 50s and 60s, however the Chinese soon closed the gap. China alone dominated the sport for much of the 60's and 70's, but after Table Tennis became an Olympic event in the 1980's, other nations such as Sweden and South Korea have joined the top ranks. Ping-Pong Diplomacy of 1971 (USA & China) According to a PBS article, 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.

The reason being that anti sikh prachaar is more successful in villages where people are easily lured. The people going aborad from villages do first thing reaching alien countries cut their hair... thatz a fact. I have been vitnessed to it

:roll:

I think your Sikh Sports knowledge is pretty limited... Here is our new entry into Hall of Fame... Oops its not Rupy penji... Kikkar Singh Sandhu 'Pehelvan' was a wrestler of legendary fame. He was born on 13 January 1857 to Javala Singh Sandhu and Sahib Kaur, a farming couple of moderate means living in the village ot Chanteke, in Lahore district (now in Pakistan). Javtla Singh, himself a wrestler, wished his only son to train as one. Young Kikkar Singh began his apprenticeship in his mother s native village, Nurpur, under G ulam, the potter. As he returned to his own village, he started practising with an elderly wrestler, Vasava Singh, who taught him many fine points of the sport. He had already made a name as a wrestler by the tilne he put himself under the tutelage of Buta Pahilvan, Rustam-i-Hind (a title for the champion wrestler of India), of Lahore. Soon Kikkar Singh came to be counted as the leading Indian wrestler and one among the best in the world. He enjoyed the patronage of the rulers of the princely states of Jodhpur, Indore, Dasuya, Tonk and Jammu and Kashmir. Kikkar Singh had a prodigious frame. He was uncommonly tall, over seven feet, as the tradition goes, and many legends became current of his Herculean strength. For example, his real name was Prem Singh, he came to be known as Kikkar Singh for he had once uprooted a kikkar tree (accacia) with bare hands. It is also likely that he earned his botanical name because of his extraordinary height and dark complexion . Kikkar Singh fought and won many bouts during his lifetime. In fact there were not many competitors to match his strength and skill. He, however, lost the last contest of his life. During the Delhi Darbar held in December 1911 to celebrate the coronation of King George V, he was challenged by a younger wrestler and an old rival, Kallu of Amritsar. Kikkar Singh, at 54, was long past his prime and was already a patient of asthma, but he would not let a challenge go unanswered, and came into the arena. He put up an elegant fight to the delight of the elite gathering (Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala and Sardul Singh Caveeshar were among the spectators), but lost although to many eye-witnesses it appearcd a dubious judgement. Kikkar Singh died on 18 Febluary 1914 at his native village wherc a samadhi or memorial shrine was raised in his memory. Salute to Khalsa sportsman Kikkar Singh ji
