Table Tennis?  Really China?  And every single province to boot.

Laos and Cambodia are so much more awesome with their kickboxing.

China, more peaceful than Mongolia (wrestling) and Bhutan (archery).

We should be comforted by the fact horse archery is not the #1 sport in Mongolia.

I guess it's two factors:
- relatively easy rules
- you can play it almost anywhere and with anything, even if you only mark the goals with bricks on either side and use an empty can for a ball

Very happily surprised to see Baseball #1 in both Taiwan and Japan.  Though since the Japanese are two time world champions maybe I should not be surprised.

Yeah that was pretty simple.  It could have been a bit harder if they made us type the name out.
