    Table tennis, also known as ping-pong and whiff-whaff, is a sport in which two or four


    players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the ping-pong ball, back and forth across a
    table using small rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net.
    Except for the initial serve, the rules are generally as follows: players must allow a ball
    played toward them to bounce once on their side of the table and must return it so that it
    bounces on the opposite side at least once. A point is scored when a player fails to
    return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the
    ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great
    advantage.
    Table tennis is governed by the worldwide organization International Table Tennis
    Federation (ITTF), founded in 1926. ITTF currently includes 226 member associations.
    [3]
     The table tennis official rules are specified in the ITTF handbook.[4] Table tennis has
    been an Olympic sport since 1988,[5] with several event categories. From 1988 until
    2004, these were men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and women's
    doubles. Since 2008, a team event has been played instead of the doubles.

    Olympic 1964

    Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net.
    Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under
    organized rules.[1] It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic
    Games since Tokyo 1964. Beach volleyball was introduced to the programme at
    the Atlanta 1996. The adapted version of volleyball at the Summer Paralympic
    Games is sitting volleyball.
    The complete set of rules is extensive,[2] but play essentially proceeds as follows: a
    player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and
    then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over
    the net, and into the receiving team's court.[3] The receiving team must not let the ball be
    grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to three times to return the
    ball to the other side of the court, but individual players may not touch the ball twice
    consecutively.[3] Typically, the first two touches are used to set up for an attack. An
    attack is an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the team
    receiving the ball is unable to pass the ball and continue the rally, thus, losing the point.
    The team that wins the rally is awarded a point and serves the ball to start the next rally.
    A few of the most common faults include:

     causing the ball to touch the ground or floor outside the opponents' court or without first
    passing over the net;
     catching and throwing the ball;
     double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player;
     four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team;
     net foul: touching the net during play;
     foot fault: the foot crosses over the boundary line when serving.
    The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push
    (short contact) the ball with any part of the body.
    A number of consistent techniques have evolved in volleyball,
    including spiking and blocking (because these plays are made above the top of the net,
    the vertical jump is an athletic skill emphasized in the sport) as well as passing, setting,
    and specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures.[4]
