The guys talked about the history of this sport, which is rightly considered one of the most democratic. So, initially, ping-pong games were held at ordinary desks, where books were installed instead of a net, and rackets were replaced by pieces of cardboard, but already in 1988 table tennis was included in the Olympic program.

In addition, this sport is called an intellectual sport: according to research, it activates more of the brain than any other sport. The game stimulates mental activity, concentration and tactical strategy, develops mental acuity. It is also the best way to improve the strength of the legs, arms and body without overstraining the joints, according to the members of the judging board of the tournament - the head of the department “Manaviyat and Marifat” K. Sultanov and the teacher-educator of the Student Residence I. Ruzikulov.
