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


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)

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 ??
