Why are all the best ping pong players asian?

Question

Even the American ping pong players at the Olympics are asians!

Answer 1

Because Asians have the sharingon eye to detect the movements of the ball.....

Answer 2

Well, Asian folks seem to embrace that game a little more intensely than people from other regions of the world.  It's a passion for them.

It's like basketball and the USA.

Answer 3

I'm faaiirrly sure... dont take my word for this though, but didn't they invent the sport??

There's a massive history with table tennis and the Chinese and they've pretty much always dominated the sport (with a few exceptions)

Answer 4

In a lot of table tennis games, Chinese players are representing European countries like Germany and Austria!  That's because table tennis is China's official sport, so it's extremely popular in China (and in the Oriental countries).  Other countries actually recruit Chinese players who did not make the Chinese squad to play for their country, because of their high level of skill.

It's like baseball.  Most of the best players in baseball are American because it was invented in America.  Or like swimming and basketball, because those sports are popular in America, that's why American swimmers and basketball players excel.

Answer 5

because their frame are smaller and limps shorter

that made them nimble and agile.

most important are their reflexes.

Answer 6

Ping pong came from britain i think, but brits really suck at it. Wagner was pretty good like wat, 20 years ago but sweden never came up again. The germans this year seem to do well, but chinese are still unbeatable. I'd cheer for any team going against china in table tennis coz its really boring to see china win all the time.

Answer 7

That is not true. One of the most famous ping pong player was a Caucasian (forgot his name). He made friends with a famous Chinese player...and their friendship actually helped Nixon bridge the political gap to China.

Answer 8

Generally, Yes.

Because ping pong doesn't require much space and cheap to practise (no need expensive equipment). If you go to china you are not surprised to see it is practised at every corner.  

Answer 9

Easy...From an early age Asians are tought to use the Qua. It's an internal Chie force that focuses the mind. Like catching a fly mid flight. They have to practice with slit peas, as they are cheap, and plentyfull. they are fired through a pea shooter and the child has to bat them back into a net using there hands. Amazing sight to see. This gives them the edge over western children.
