Events
In 1992 (only), two bronze medals were awarded in each event. In 2008, the doubles events were replaced by team events to lessen the emphasis on doubles play. Chinese table tennis team won 8 medals and made podium sweeps on the men's and woman's singles events at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Due to China's dominance in the sport, the format was changed for the 2012 Olympics so that each NOC may enter up to two competitors in singles events. With gender equality a big focus, mixed doubles event became one of the nine new mixed-gender events at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[3]
