Being social doesn’t have to be in person! Amazing technology is in our hands today, players, fans and the ITTF across social media have engaged in fun activities to keep everyone busy expressing their love for this amazing sport.
It has become increasingly important to keep everyone involved at such a difficult time.
Here’s our top Hashtag campaigns of last week:

It has been very important to encourage everyone to follow the necessary advice of the health authorities and leading the line – albeit in a funny fashion – are top players like Pitchford!
