Just over a week ago, we witnessed one of the best World Team Table Tennis Championships in our history.

While for some it may have felt like a marathon, the event never left us breathless or uncomfortable. As we crossed the finish line, it felt as though we had all completed a long race, with table tennis emerging as the ultimate winner.

Commencing with the main event – the Championships themselves, smooth operations were undeniably the key to maintaining momentum throughout the two weeks. From impressive logistical management upon arrival to seamless venue operations and hospitality, the efforts of the Local Organising Committee made us feel as though we were living in a table tennis Paradise.
