Who is the inventor of table tennis?

An Englishman in the UK.

Table tennis was invented in the middle of the 19th century, and the inventor is no longer sophisticated.

1. The earliest table tennis balls and rackets.

In the middle of the 19th century, two aristocratic young people in London, England, went to a restaurant to eat after watching a tennis match, and while waiting, the two discussed the tournament just now, and the rise was caused by the rise of the wooden lid of the cigar as a tennis racket, and the cork on the wine bottle as a tennis ball, and slapped it on the table. Therefore, the earliest table tennis ball was a cork on a wine bottle, and the earliest table tennis racket was a cigarette case, and the name of the inventor is no longer available.

2. The improvement of table tennis and the origin of the name of table tennis.

In 1869, John Helter and his younger brother Isaiah of New Jersey invented and produced plastic, and Americans began to make billiard balls from plastic. In 1890, British engineer James Gibb brought back plastic billiards from the United States, and British sports equipment manufacturers came up with the idea and made plastic, hollow balls, because the balls emit "ping-pong" when hit on the table. sounds.

That's why people call it table tennis.

3. The improvement of table tennis rackets and their introduction to China.

In 1903, Goode, a Londoner, improved the table tennis racket and invented the viscose racket. In 1902, Britain established the world's first "Table Tennis Federation". In 1904, table tennis was introduced to China.

I know it was invented by the British.

There is no definitive conclusion as to who specifically inventors table tennis is (as of March 16, 2019), but it has been established that table tennis originated in England at the end of the 19th century.

The British call table tennis "table tennis", which means "table tennis", and it is clear that table tennis has evolved from the sport of tennis. The relationship between tennis and table tennis dates back to the late 19th century, when tennis became popular in Europe.

However, because tennis is limited by factors such as venue and weather, British university students have come up with a way to play tennis even on rainy days - move the tennis ball indoors, use the dining table as a table, stand up the book as a net, and use parchment paper as a racket to play the ball around the table, which is the earliest prototype of table tennis.

"Versatile founder of the ITTF"——— Ivo Montagu (1905-1984).

Everyone who writes the history of international table tennis mentions Mr. Ivo Montagu, one of the founders of the ITTF. Because almost everything big in table tennis is related to him. He is one of the founders of the rules of table tennis, the organizer of the World Table Tennis Championships and an active promoter of the sport of table tennis.

It is precisely because of him that table tennis has developed from a game and entertainment to a competitive sport, creating a new era of international competition.

Born in 19o5 into an aristocratic family in England, Mr. Montague has been actively involved in table tennis since his university days. In 1926, at the age of 21, he took part in a table tennis tournament in Berlin and a symposium for the establishment of the ITTF. Because of his fluency in two languages, his warm and witty personality, and his organizational skills, he was noticed by the participants and became the chairman of the ITTF Advisory Board; In 1937, Mr. Montague became the first president of the ITTF.

Who invented table tennis is impossible to tell. However, it is believed that its birthplace may have been the United Kingdom. At first, you may just play around on the dining table with very rough equipment.

It was not until 1900, when the invention of plastic table tennis replaced the gum and cork balls commonly used at the time, that the game gradually became popular in Britain and Europe. Early production equipment was called gossimar, whiff-whaff (imitation of the sound of a racket rubbing against air) or commonly known ping-pong (from which the Chinese "ping pong" is presumably derived), the latter of which is said to have been registered as a patent trademark (see image below). In 1926 the five countries met in Berlin, which resulted in the establishment of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

The ITTF now has 140 member countries and holds the World Championships every two years. Before 1960, world titles were almost exclusively won by players from Hungary, France and Sweden. In the early 1960s, Japan emerged as a leader in table tennis in the world.

But from the mid-1960s to the 1980s, China regularly won championships, with Japan, Sweden and some Eastern European countries winning only intermittently.

One or two championship titles. In 1978, the famous "ping-pong diplomacy" between China and the United States brought this movement to the stage of history. China's absolute dominance in table tennis was broken by South Korean and Swedish players in the late 1980s, when table tennis became an Olympic sport.

Table tennis, whose British name is "table tennis", was invented by some British university students at the end of the 19th century. Because it often rains in the UK, tennis that could have been played outdoors had to be played indoors. They used the table as the table, the book as the net, and the wine bottle cork as the ball, and pushed it back and forth on the table to form a table tennis ball.

This was the beginning of table tennis.

The teams of the China Table Tennis Super League: Bayi Industrial and Commercial Bank (Wang Liqin), Shandong Luneng (Wang Hao), Shaanxi Yinhe (Ma Lin), Beijing BTG (Zhang Yining).

Table tennis originated in England. Europeans still call table tennis"Tennis on the table"From this, it can be seen that table tennis was developed from tennis. At the end of the 19th century, tennis was popular in Europe, but due to the limitations of the venue and weather, some British university students moved tennis indoors, using the dining table as a table, books as a net, and parchment paper as a racket, and playing around on the table.

At the beginning of the 20th century, table tennis flourished in Europe and Asia. In 1926, the International Table Tennis Invitational Tournament was held in Berlin, Germany. Later, it was posthumously recognized as the first World Table Tennis Championships. At the same time, the International Table Tennis Federation was established.

The widespread development of table tennis has led to great improvements in rackets and balls. The original racket was a lightly machined wooden board. Later, someone put a layer of sheepskin on the racket.

With the development of modern industry, Europeans put rubber particles on their rackets. In the early 50s, the Japanese invented rackets with thick sponges. The original ball was a rubber ball similar to a tennis ball, and in 1890, British athlete Gibb brought back some celluloid balls from the United States as toys for table tennis.

Among the many table tennis competitions, the most prestigious is the World Table Tennis Championships, which were initially held once a year and then changed to a biennial event after 1957.

In 1904, Wang Daowu, the owner of a stationery store in Shanghai, bought back 10 sets of table tennis equipment from Japan. Since then, table tennis has been introduced.

The long glue of table tennis was invented in China in the sixties, and the secret of the long glue was discovered by table tennis player Zhang Xielin. Zhang Xielin used this rubber to cut out unpredictable balls, and was called "table tennis magician".

In table tennis, in general, the rubber with the particles facing upwards and the height exceeding millimeters is called long glue. The rubber particles of this rubber are very soft, the particles are elongated, and the support force is small. Key features:

The ability to actively create spin is poor, and it mainly relies on the strong spin or momentum of the incoming ball to increase the spin of the return ball.

The birth of table tennis was purely accidental. It was caused by two British youths playing. At the end of the 19th century, two young men in London went to a restaurant one day, and while waiting for the waiter to deliver their meal, they got bored, so they took the lid of the cigar box in their hands and played with it, and at the same time removed the cork from the wine bottle.

As a result, this table game soon evolved into a table tennis tournament that swept through London, forming a table tennis craze for a while. In 1926, the first World Table Tennis Championships were held in London in honor of the country of inventors.

In the early days, when people played table tennis, they mostly liked to put a layer of leather or cork on the wooden cricket racket. The rubber racket was first invented and used by the Englishman Goode. One day, after playing the ball, Goode went to the pharmacy on his way home to buy medicine, and when the pharmacy owner threw him the changed he had recovered, the coins landed on the rubber plate and bounced.

Goode's eyes lit up, so he bought a rubber plate from the pharmacy owner, installed it on his racket, and carefully reformed his original racket. Later, Goode competed with the world's first glued paddle and calmly defeated all his opponents. Since then, rubber rackets have been publicly available.

The English name of table tennis is table tennis, which is transferred from tennis, because tennis can't be played in rainy days, so the table tennis ball was invented, and the indoor table convenience was invented"Versatile founder of the ITTF"——— Ivo Montagu (1905-1984).

It was invented by some British university students at the end of the 19th century. Because it often rains in the UK, it would have been. Balls are emitted when they touch the table"Ping Pong"、"Pong"sound, hence the name"Ping Pong".

Around 1800, an American sporting goods manufacturer came up with the idea of inventing a game called "indoor tennis" and wanted to promote it in the United States, but it was snubbed. He was not reconciled and transferred it to the ** merchant, and this kind of game became popular in Britain. People put the dining table together and pull the net in the middle to fight, so it is called "table tennis".

At that time, the balls were made of cork and rubber. A few years later, the solid ball was born, and table tennis began to spread all over the world. A man named Goode in London pasted rubber on the racket, and when he hit the ball with the racket and the ball touched the table, it made the sound of "ping-pong" and "ping-pong", so it was called "ping-pong".

This is the American version of the invention of table tennis.

Table tennis originated in England at the end of the 19th century.

It is said that there were two British tennis enthusiasts at that time, once in the outdoor tennis competition, indistinguishable when the weather is not beautiful, heavy rain, forced two young people with strong blood had to hide in the school cafeteria, as we all know, young people in the development period are competitive and impulsive, just the competition, no one is convinced, the dispute can not be settled, and then the two discussed, "Let's play on the table again?" "Okay, I'm not afraid of you" So the two of them put together the table in the dining room, separated by a few bricks, and then the two of them beat each other with tennis rackets, which is a great deal and created the originator of table tennis. Later, onlookers thought it was quite interesting, so they followed suit, and swept through Europe like a whirlwind.

It was originally called "table tennis", which translated into Chinese is "table tennis", and the official language of Japan is "zhuoqiu". However, the word "ping pang ball" did not appear in English until around 1900, due to the invention of science, there was a ball made of celluloid, and because the paddle collided with the ball to produce a "ping-pong" sound, it made a "ping-pong" sound, so it was also called "ping pong".

Table tennis originated in England at the end of the 19th century and is said to have originated in tennis. Legend has it that several college students used the table as a court and pushed the wine bottle stoppers around the table with wooden boards like playing tennis, so it was called "table tennis", which is the origin of the English "table tennis" of table tennis. Around 1900, due to the development of light industry, the ball was changed to a hollow ball made of celluloid.

Hewitt, a printer in New York, concocted an artificial plastic that looked like ivory, softened by heat and hardened by cold, and named it celluloid, and in 1869 Hewitt used celluloid to make a batch of table tennis balls, which was very popular with people. Nowadays, table tennis balls are mostly processed from plastic made of cotton. After the 19th century, table tennis gradually developed.

The first large-scale table tennis tournament was held in December 1900 at Queen's Hall in London, England, setting a precedent for table tennis competitions. More than 300 people participated in the competition. During competitions, male athletes wear shirts and shoulders with pulp collars, and female athletes wear skirts and even hats.

The rules of table tennis and tennis are basically the same, and table tennis is played on a table, hence the name "tennis on the table". When playing, because the ball makes a "ping-pong" sound, so. In 1890, British athlete Gibb brought back some celluloid balls from the United States as toys for table tennis.

Although table tennis is the "national sport" of our country, it was invented by the British, and to this day, the British still call it "table tennis."

It was invented by the British, and it was impossible to verify that it was transmitted from Britain to Japan, and then from Japan to Shanghai, China, and later became China's national sport.
