Courtesy of ITTF Would you like to buy a ticket to watch the table tennis events at the Olympic Games in Beijing? If you do then you better be quick! Five thousand tickets go on sale at 9.00am (local time) on Friday July 24, 2008; at 6.00am on Thursday July 23, 2008 a queue at the Peking University Box Office had already formed!

Two tickets per person is the maximum allowed so families are in line desperate to gain seats; desperate to see the world class stars of table tennis in action.

Superstars
Such is the magnetism of the Olympic Games, such is the attraction of table tennis.

In China the table tennis players are superstars, they are giants in their sport and of course, they are the nation’s heroes and heroines.

The country expects.

Plenty of Support
There will be no shortage of support for Wang Hao, Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, Zhang Yining, Guo Yue and Wang Nan in the Peking University Gymasium.

The competition commences on Wednesday August 13th and concludes on Saturday August 15, 2008.
