World Table Tennis Championships
Medal Winners
The World Championships first started in 1926.
So which players have been World Table Tennis Championships Medal Winners?
By Martin Hughes

2021 World Champion - Wang Manyu
The history of table tennis goes back to the late 1800s, but it was in 1926 that the modern game of table tennis began and the inaugural World Championship took place that year in London, England.
Hungarian Roland Jacobi took the men's singles title in that first year, beating another Hungarian (Zoltan Mechlovits) in the final as European players dominated the championship.
The World Championship was then held annually until 1939 but the second world war prevented it from being played in 1940 and for the following six years.
However, by 1947 it had recommenced, and it once again became an annual event until 1957.
But at the World Championship's Annual General Meeting in Tokyo, Japan in 1956, the ITTF voted in favour of changing it to a biennial event.
And by starting this change with effect from the 1957 event in Stockholm, Sweden, they also ensured that it wouldn't clash with the Olympic Games held in the even numbered years.
But in 2000, due to the number of players taking part, it was decided to split the event into two separate competitions.
So team events are now held in even numbered years, whilst individual events (singles and doubles) are held in odd numbered years.
