Para Table Tennis

Para Table Tennis, played on a rectangular table divided by a net, features athletes hitting a light ball back and forth with a specialized racket. The objective of this fast-paced sport is to score points by hitting the ball in a way that the opponent cannot return it. Matches are determined by the best of five sets, with each set won by the first player or team to reach 11 points with a two-point lead. Athletes compete in a single elimination tournament based on their disability classification.
A Paralympic table tennis player, wearing a vibrant red and yellow shirt, is in action as he hits the ball. The athlete, who is a hand amputee, has the paddle strapped to his residual limb with a red and blue strap. The ball is visible in mid-air, heading towards the player against a dark background.
