Table tennis made its Olympic debut in ______.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

1988

Table tennis is a fast racquet sport governed internationally by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), founded in 1926.

The sport was included in the Olympic Games programme for the first time at the 1988 Summer Olympics held in Seoul, South Korea.

Therefore 1988 is the correct year of its Olympic debut.

At its debut, four medal events were contested: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and women's doubles.

China has since dominated Olympic table tennis, winning the majority of gold medals across editions.

1992 marks the Barcelona Olympics, which was the second appearance of table tennis, not the first, so it is incorrect.

The years 1924 and 1928 predate the sport's Olympic inclusion, so both are wrong.

Table tennis made its Olympic debut in 1988.
