Table tennis at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro is scheduled to take place from 6 to 17 August 2016 at the third pavilion of Riocentro. Around 172 table tennis players (an equal distribution between men and women) are expected to compete in both the singles and team events.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rio 2016: Table Tennis )〕 Table tennis has appeared at the Summer Olympics on seven previous occasions beginning with the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. In addition to men's and women's singles, the team events are staged for the third time since replacing doubles events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. ==Qualification== (詳細はBrazil has automatically qualified six athletes; a team of three men and women with one each competing in the singles. The top 22 male and top 22 female players on the International Table Tennis Federation's Olympic ranking list as of January 1, 2016 will be qualified for the singles event at the Games. No nation can have more than two players per gender in the singles at these Games, so some players below the twenty-eighth position are given a qualifying place based on ranking.〔 Forty places will be awarded to the table tennis players with a maximum of two per NOC and gender through the following continental qualification tournaments between July 1, 2015 and April 24, 2016: six each from Africa and Latin America, eleven each from Asia and Europe, and three each from North America and Oceania. One invitational place per gender will be allocated by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).〔 For the team events, the highest-ranked NOC from each continent that already contains two qualified players for the singles adds a quota place to form a team of three players and thereby secures a direct qualifying place for the Games based on the ITTF Olympic Team Ranking list. The remaining ten teams are allotted to the nine highest-ranked NOCs in any continent and to the host nation Brazil (if not qualified by any means) that have two players qualified for the singles. If less than nine nations, the next best teams with a single player secures a place for the Olympics.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Table tennis at the 2016 Summer Olympics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
