Watch Table Tennis at Olympics 2024 as China's Ma Long looks to win his third Olympic gold in a row. Below we have all the information on how to watch Table Tennis at the 2024 Paris Olympics Game from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

Yesterday saw China add a third gold to their tally with a victory in the men's team final. It was the second of the games for Fan Zhendong who also topped the singles podium and redemption for Wang Chuqin after his shock Round of 16 exit. For Ma Long, the sixth Olympic gold of his career will be bittersweet as it's also likely to be his last with the Chinese legend expected to hang up his paddles after Paris. Despite a stunning run in both singles and teams competitions, Truls Moregard is once again left settling for silver. Elsewhere, the Lebrun brothers of France secured bronze for the hosts.

The final day of Table Tennis in Paris 2024 sees the women's teams medals up for grabs. Korea and Germany will meet in the bronze medal match, while China and Japan will settle who's taking gold and silver. China's Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, who already boast gold in these games, will be confident of adding to their tally, but Japan are not to be underestimated.
