Table Tennis is the Olympic sport with the highest number of players worldwide. Portuguese Table Tennis is currently an international reference among youngsters having Marco Freitas as a role model.

 

In 2014 in Lisbon, Portugal became European Champions in the teams' Competition with Marcos Freitas, Tiago Apolónia and João Monteiro.

 

The Table Tennis athletes of the Academic Association of Coimbra, Rodolfo Pedra and Mariana Gonçalves, became national champions. The mixed-pairs event took place in Aveiro, being the last phase of the National Championship of Table Tennis.

 

Para Table Tennis was first included in the Paralympic Games in Rome in 1960 and is now practised by Para-athletes in more than 100 different countries. 

 

Para Table Tennis follows the usual Table Tennis rules with only slight modifications. For example, matches consist of five sets of 11 points each and are played over the best of five games, rather than seven. Men and women can participate in individual, doubles or team events. 

 

This sport is open to Para-athletes with upper and lower limb paralysis, cerebral palsy, amputees and other physical disabilities like multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy. Para-athletes compete in classes according to their functional ability.

 

The competition of Para-Table Tennis will be played alongside with the Table Tennis competition.
