Yes, Table Tennis is an Olympic Sport

A sports writer at Drexel University wrote a column about his experience covering the Olympic Trials at his university.

When Drexel announced that they got the rights to the Table Tennis Olympic Trials this summer, I thought it was a fun joke. I had no idea that ping-pong was an Olympic sport.

My editor wanted to do extensive coverage of the four-day event, and I could not help but ask why. The most use I have ever gotten out of a ping-pong table was using it as a beer pong table. It has been so long since I have played the game that I was beginning to forget the real purpose of the table.
