    Of course it's a sport. Ignore this ignorant fool in school. I also played in school and have a silver All Ireland Schools medal from that time. Very proud I am of it too. Table tennis is a brilliant sport for overall fitness as well as developing good hand/eye co-ordination. Keep up the good work fella! :cool:

    I heard someone say, an hour of playing table tennis is equal to running a mile. Despite not using as much energy as most sports, it is still classed as a sport.

    I've come across many arguments regarding whether table tennis is a sport or not and if it should be included in the olympics. I was inspired to write this http://tablesports.blog.co.uk/2009/07/28/why-table-tennis-should-remain-an-olympic-sport-6604235/.
