The appearance of table tennis is purely accidental. It was caused by two British youths playing. 19 At the end, two young people in London went to a restaurant for dinner one day. When they were waiting for the waiter to deliver the meal, they felt bored, so they took the lid of the cigar in their hands and pulled off the cork at the same time. At the dinner table, they come and go, calling each other and calling each other. As a result, they were so fascinated that they even forgot to eat. As a result, this table tennis sport quickly evolved into a table tennis competition, which swept across London and formed a table tennis craze for a period of time. To commemorate the country that invented it, the first World Table Tennis Championship was held in London on 1926. Let me know more about you! The origin of table tennis racket: When people played table tennis in the early days, most of them liked to stick a layer of leather or cork on the wooden racket. The rubber racket was first invented and used by an Englishman, Goode. One day, after the game, Goode went to the drugstore to buy medicine on his way home. When the drugstore owner threw him the change, the coin fell on the rubber plate and bounced again. Goode's eyes suddenly lit up, so he bought a rubber plate from the drugstore owner and put it on his racket, carefully transforming his original racket. Later, Goode entered the competition with the world's first encapsulated racket and easily defeated all his opponents. Since then, the rubber racket has come out publicly. The origin of table tennis and other names in the history of sports, table tennis can be regarded as a young sport with a history of only 100 years. Compared with track and field (more than 2000 years), it is also a veritable junior. 1890, several naval officers stationed in India came across that playing tennis on a small table was quite exciting. Later, they used a small hollow ball instead of a solid ball with little elasticity and a wooden board instead of a racket to play this novel "tennis match" on the table, which is the origin of the name table tennis. Soon after its appearance, table tennis became a popular sport. At the beginning of the 20th century, the United States began to produce complete sets of table tennis equipment. Initially, table tennis had other names, such as indoor tennis. Later, an American manufacturer created the new word "Ping-Pong" by the sound made when ping-pong was hit, and used it as the registered trademark of his patent. Ping-pong later became another official name of table tennis. When it spread to China, people created a new word "table tennis". In Japanese, table tennis is called table tennis. Many words in table tennis come from tennis. The ball used for table tennis is called table tennis or table tennis, the table tennis table is called table tennis table, the table top is called court, the net in the middle is called net, and the shelf supporting the net is called net holder. Table tennis singles generally adopt the system of two wins in three games or two wins in five games. The so-called "game" is set in English. Serving is called serving. According to some historical records, billiards was circulated among the people in China as early as the early Qing Dynasty and was deeply loved by the people. Miao people in China, Sichuan and Yunnan mountainous areas regard this billiards game as a kind of leisure and after-dinner pastime. They use the dried fruit of buttonwood or orange tree as the ball, the long board with handle as the bat and the door panel as the table, and the two sides fight each other. People call this game "smelly orange" game. According to records, similar games prevailed in the Pearl River valley in the late Qing Dynasty, but dried fruits were not used as balls, but made into small balls by blowing pig urine bubbles, which was more elastic than dried fruits. Or on the table, or on the ground, or in the air, this is the predecessor of table tennis. World Youth magazine 1954 said that billiards, namely table tennis, originated in China and Japan, and Britain was the earliest country in Europe. About 1800, an American sporting goods manufacturer invented a game called "indoor tennis" with ingenuity, and wanted to promote it in the United States, but it was left out in the cold. He didn't want to transfer it to a broker, and the game became popular in Britain. People put the dining table together and pull the net in the middle, so it is called "table tennis". At that time, balls were made of cork and rubber. A few years later, the solid ball was born and table tennis began to go to the world. A man named Goode in London glued rubber to a racket, and the racket hit the ball. When the ball hit the table, it would make a ping-pong sound, so it was called ping-pong. This is the saying that Americans invented table tennis. Another said it originated in South America. The local Indians made solid balls from the sap of rubber trees, which became light and elastic after drying. They are called "Makawa" and are very popular in the local area. Later, it was brought back to Europe by Columbus or other expeditions and gradually spread. Another theory originated in Russia. Some members of the Russian Tsar family played games with rubber balls, which became quite popular around 1890. It is also said that in the court of a European country, it is expensive to make balls with ivory, which is difficult to popularize. The most popular saying is that table tennis originated in England. /kloc-One day at the end of 0/9, London experienced a rare sultry weather. After watching Wimbledon, two young people went to a single room in a fancy restaurant for dinner. First use the cigar box cover as a fan, and then discuss tennis skills and tactics. Pick up the cork bottle cover as a ball, the table as a table, and pull a line in the middle as a net to play with the box cover. Just as the waiter was cheering, the shopkeeper who heard the news couldn't help but blurt out "table tennis" A ping-pong named after ping-pong has been in use ever since. Since then, table tennis has become popular among college students and then spread all over Britain. James Gibb, a British engineer, brought the hollow celluloid ball from America to England, replacing the original solid ball. The hollow ball invented by American Heyart will make a "ping" and "pong" sound when touching the table. A British sporting goods company registered the word "ping pong" as a trademark. 189 1 year, Charles Baxter, an Englishman, applied for table tennis as a commercial patent and obtained the license of 19070. Montague, president of the International Table Tennis Federation, said that at the end of 19, table tennis was popular with all kinds of strange names, and the equipment was very different from now. European "indoor tennis" can be played on the table or on the ground. The racket is similar to the badminton racket now. This ball is a hard and light solid ball. After the appearance of celluloid hollow ball, it almost swept the world. There is also a saying that table tennis originated in England at the end of19th century. It started as an active game. This ball is made of light and elastic material. A wooden board like a cigar box cover hits the table like tennis, so it is called "table tennis". 1900 or so, due to the development of light industry, the ball was changed into a hollow ball made of celluloid. Since then, table tennis has gradually developed. The first large-scale table tennis competition was held in1900+February in London, England. More than 300 people took part in the competition. During the competition, male athletes should wear shirts and starched vests, while female athletes should wear skirts and even hats. 1926, the International Table Tennis Federation was formally established and decided to hold the first World Table Tennis Championships. In the past 50 years, the development of table tennis has gone through three stages. Although the rackets used by early athletes have different shapes, they are all made of wood, and the hitting speed is slow. Small strength, not to mention any rotation; The play is monotonous, just pushing the ball around. 1903, an Englishman Goodall invented the rubber racket, which strongly promoted the development of table tennis technology. From 1926 to 195 1, most players around the world use rubber bats with cylindrical particles on their surfaces. When hitting the ball, the elasticity and friction increase, which can make the ball rotate to a certain extent, so the defensive style of cutting off the rotating ball appears. This style of play has been popular in Europe for a long time, and many athletes have won the world championship with this style of play. The advantage of table tennis in this period was in Europe, among which Hungary scored the most outstanding. 1 17 world champions won 57 or 5 times, accounting for half of the European team. In the early 1950s, the Austrian invented the sponge racket, and the Japanese athletes' morality was used in world competitions, winning four championships in the 19 World Championships in one fell swoop, breaking the monopoly position of European athletes. Because Japanese players used this racket to create a long-range attack style, which has the advantages of strong forehand attack, fast speed and great threat of serve attack, it gradually replaced the defensive style of slow speed, weak rotation and weak attack in Europe, which made Japan win the advantage of table tennis in the 1950 s. From 1952 to 1959, Japan won 24 of the 49 world championships. This is the first big improvement in table tennis. From 65438 to 0959, after Rong Guotuan won the men's singles championship in the 25th World Table Tennis Championships, China athletes began to enter the international table tennis arena. Gradually formed a "fast, accurate, ruthless, changing" technical style of the fast-break style. In the 26th World Championships of 196 1, China not only broke through Europe, but also defeated the Japanese player who won the secret weapon-"curling ball" and won the men's team world championship for the first time. And won the 27th and 28th men's team championships in succession. The advantage of China's near-table fast break is its close position, high speed, flexible action and free use of forehand and backhand, which is a great progress compared with Japanese long-distance draw. In 1960s, China's table tennis skills were in the forefront of the world, and its advantages were transferred from Japan to China. This is the second big improvement in table tennis.
