    Mixed Team Event Will Be A Catalyst For Women's Table Tennis Development

    By IANS News April 19, 2025 • 18:54 PM View: 574
    ITTF Group CEO Steve Dainton: Table tennis is one of the six sports that have added competitions in a mixed-gender discipline in the upcoming Olympic Games in 2028 in Los Angeles.

    Golf, Archery, Athletics (4x100m mixed relay), Gymnastics, and Rowing Coastal Beach Sprint are the other sports besides table tennis to join the bandwagon for LA28. One of the reasons why mixed-gender disciplines have been added to the sports programme at the Olympics is the feeling that this is the way to develop the sport further.

    The mixed team event will be a "powerful catalyst" for the development of women's table tennis globally, said Petra Sorling, president of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), on Friday at a press conference during the ITTF World Cup Macao 2025.
