ITTF confirmed mixed doubles rules at 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games

rainneverever · Apr 2, 2018

Thomas Weikert said in Shanghai on the opening day of ITTF Museum, for mixed doubles at 2020 Tokyo, each association (up to 3 men and 3 women) can attend 5 events. Previously, it was proposed that each association has to choose 4 out of 5 events. Only 1 mixed doubles pair from each association can play and there are 16 pairs in the main draw. One player can play 3 events.

I haven't seen any discussions or English news on this topic yet. What do you think?

So this means we may see Ma Long enter the mixed doubles to?

Why are they even playing it then if a player can only play in 3? The best will focus on Singles, Doubles and Team so it will be way less prestigious...

There's no Doubles at the Olympics so 3 is actually all there are for each gender.
