Extractions: From deep within, the hollow pop of Ping-Pong balls hitting the cement floor drowns out a disco rendition of "The Nutcracker." A sign on the office door reads in Russian: "KGB, Your Documents Please." Inside is the Brooklyn Table Tennis Club, which opened 10 months ago with 10 tables and has become New York's beacon for displaced Ping-Pong greats. The taxi belongs to Nison Aronov, the eight-time national table tennis champion of Tajikistan, arguably the best lobber in the United States and the owner and unofficial tsar of the club. Aronov believes the next table tennis stars will be born in his club, which draws on the Ping-Pong passion of new immigrants from Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and China.

Extractions: Table Tennis is believed to have begun in England during the 12 th century as a spin-off of "Royal Tennis" and was popular as a parlor game in Victorian homes. Equipment was made from various homemade articles, such as cardboard for rackets, books as nets and the ball was usually a ball of string. It is believed that in the late 1880s, an American sporting goods manufacturer by the name of Parker Brothers, tried their hands at making "official" equipment. At that time, Parker Brothers was already exporting "Indoor Tennis" equipment to England. Equipment was still very primitive and balls were then solid rubber or cork and usually covered with material to prevent damage to furniture. Plastic balls were introduced to the game after an Englishman named James Gibb, visited America and discovered children playing with small plastic toy balls. He brought some back to England and used the plastic balls for table tennis. To his surprise, it gave an unexpected, overwhelming boost to this already popular game. After years of being called Gossima, Film-Flam and Whiff-Whaff, the name "Ping Pong" was finally adopted as a trade name by Parker Brothers because of the new sound these plastic balls made when they hit the table and the racket.

We have also covered the 1990, 1992, 1994 European Championships.

As you have seen, we have full length videos of all these competitions and championships.

The purpose of this video is to show that Table Tennis, at its highest level is beyond anything anyone could ever imagine it to be... so, through all our 15 years of coverage, we have accumulated over 500 hours of footage. We chronicled and catalogued the best of this footage and were able to narrow it down to the greatest shots, finishes, points of this era.
