But itâs a high-energy sport (yes, thatâs right, a sport) thatâs played by hundreds of millions of serious athletes worldwide. Sure, Ping-Pong, or table tennis in competitive circles, is a fast-paced, fun game to play with your drinking buddies in their rec rooms.

At age 17, he entered the Academy at Athens, a noted Greek school headed at the time by the famous philosopher Plato.
