Beware China. Try as they might, table tennis players are still trying to match the Chinese in a sport they have simply dominated. Since table tennis joined the Olympics in 1988, China has won 20 of the available 24 gold medals.
Australia's best finish was a fifth in the women's doubles at the Sydney 2000 Games, courtesy of Shirley Zuo and Miao Miao.
