The serve is an important element of Olympic table tennis and the same is true of the Paralympic version. Under Olympic rules, the ball must be placed in the open palm of the hand, thrown at least 16 cm into the air perpendicular to the table, and struck. In paralympic table tennis, where this is not possible, the ball may be tossed by placing it on the elbow or on the racket. 1, record 1, English, - paralympic%20table%20tennis

Table tennis ... has been part of the Paralympic programme since the first Games at Rome 1960 when wheelchair athletes competed. Events for standing players were first included at the Toronto 1976 Games. Table tennis only became an Olympic sport at Seoul 1988, so the Paralympic equivalent has a longer history. 1, record 1, English, - paralympic%20table%20tennis

Le tennis de table a été au programme des premiers Jeux à Rome en 1960, en faisant un des sports paralympiques originaux. Il a été à l'origine ouvert seulement aux utilisateurs de fauteuils roulants; les joueurs debout ont été ajoutés en 1976 et les athlètes ayant de la paralysie cérébrale se sont joints en 1980. 2, record 1, French, - tennis%20de%20table%20paralympique
