China has dominated Olympic table tennis over the years, but a few Americans have a chance to pull off an upset in Rio de Janeiro.
China has won 24 gold medals in table tennis over the years, making it the clear favorite at the 2016 Summer Olympics. But American Wu Yue, who won the women’s singles title at the Pan American Championships, is name to watch.
