Table Tennis Events 2012

2012 is a big year for sport in general and for table tennis events in particular.

This year sees the quadrennial Olympic Games taking place in London, England, which means that there will be four Olympic gold medals up for grabs in addition to the regular annual table tennis events.

So in preparation for the biggest sporting event on the planet in July and August, all players will be concentrating their efforts on the Olympic Qualification events which take place from February through May, as they try to secure their place in London.

And with the table tennis World Championships (Team Events) taking place in Dortmund, Germany in March, Europe will really be in the spotlight this year.
