    They brought in team titles for Table Tennis in this OG with the expense of double titles - otherwise, it would be difficult for Singapore women's team (the silver medalists) to break their 40+ year of OG medal drought. But I guess TT are different from badminton as most of the peddlers are playing in both single and double events.

    Previously, table tennis had 5 events (like badminton). But they got all their doubles taken out and added the two team events, so they now have 4 events.

    I'll take our 5 events, thank you very much. Best leave the team events to Thomas, Uber and Sudirman.

    i agree. unless they would allow all 5 individual events plus 2 team events, i choose 5 individual events.

    Anyway, previously mixed doubles wasnt contested in table tennis, so as a result the team events replaced only the mens and womens doubles. The total remains at 4.

    disagree!:DThere are no doubles games in Table tennis individual,only in team's.The another reason is that shuttlers easily get hurt than table tennis players.:DSo there can't be so many matches a player should play in a badminton tournament.

    Mixed Doubles to be replaced by MIXED Team event. That should be interesting...

    4 individual + 1 team event (Sudirman Cup format), a new combination in multi-sport arena.
