Is there still the original table tennis World Cup?

It turns out that table tennis World Cup and table tennis have a World Cup. Table tennis World Cup, Olympic Games and World Table Tennis Championships are one of the three major table tennis events in the world. The first Women's Table Tennis World Cup was held in Hongkong, China on 1996. Except for 1999, which was suspended due to sponsors, this top-level event maintained its annual tradition. The World Cup includes four events: men's and women's singles and team events. The World Table Tennis Championships include seven events: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and men's and women's team events. The Olympic Games includes four events: men's and women's singles and team events.

The beginning of the world cup

From 65438 to 0996, the first Women's Table Tennis World Cup officially started, and national table tennis player Deng Yaping also won the first championship, thus achieving the first Grand Slam in the field of women's table tennis and China table tennis.

In terms of strength, it is not surprising that Deng Yaping, the singles champion of two Olympic Games and two World Table Tennis Championships at that time, won the World Cup. It's a pity that the establishment of the Women's Table Tennis World Cup is really too late, otherwise she could have achieved this goal long ago. After 1997 won the World Table Tennis Championships, Deng Yaping announced his retirement.
