Table tennis has appeared at the Summer Olympics on six previous occasions beginning with the 1988 Games in Seoul. In addition to men's and women's singles the team events will be staged for the second time since replacing doubles events at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Looks like China has set themselves up good for 2 medals in Table Tennis Womens.

Most likely Gold/Silver imo.
