Is Olympic ( ITTF ) TableTennis same as TableTennis ? (or why IOC must expel TableTennis from Olympics immediately)

[Laurent]

I am new & am confused about what TableTennis really is .
I am told Olympic ( ITTF ) TableTennis is NOT real TableTennis
Is this true ?

[Genevieve^^]

You are 100% correct.- Olympic ( ITTF ) TableTennis is NOT real TableTennis
ITTF version of Olympic TableTennis is a limited and perverted version of TableTennis

ITTF's version of Olympic TableTennis is NOT real TableTennis . It is just a dumbed down version of real TableTennis with ITTF excessively enhancing top spin style of play using illegal chemicals (boosters & spein glues) but at the same time also severely limiting back spin & no spin styles of play by TOTALLY banning certain high back spin pips or no spin pips & limiting other existing pips over and over

Olympic Table Tennis is not only not approved by ITTF itself (an OXY Moron sort of thing) because of the rampant violations to enhance performance by violating Rule 2.4.7 and Regulation 3.4.2.2 of 2025 ITTF Statutes (but this goes way back to ITTF's 1995 (click blue link) robotNazi forced repeal of spein glue ban) at all levels of the sport (not just at the Olympic event ONLY) but even more importantly is in violation of health code laws of all nations . IOC just looks the other way & lets ITTF get away with all this


The mission statement of Olympic ( ITTF ) TableTennis is sort of " Booster Grooming & Pip shaming " which implies that top spin is the one and only way to play TableTennis

Real TableTennis includes top spin, back spin & no spin styles pf play (of course side spin is not a part of this analysis as it is mostly delivered a part of back spin or top spin)

Olympic ITTF started its brutal crackdown & oppresson of choppers (who use & need back spin) by banning all long pips as far back as 1977

RobotNazis absolutely hate back spin & choppers

In a few words
The realtonship of ITTF and IOC is far more causal than casual LOL.
As is the corrupt IOC's relationship with other corrupt national sports associations similar to ITTF.
Most recent being boxing

A better name for this topic thread would be :-

Why on earth did the IOC allow TableTennis into the Olympics in 1988 to start with in the first place, given what transpired in TableTennis & with ITTF rule changes between late 70s and early 80s ??
