| From Beijing to London, London Mayor Boris Johnson heralds the coming of the 2012 Olympics stating: "Ping pong was invented on the dining tables of England in the 19th century and it was called wiff waff. "There I think you have the essential difference between us and the rest of world. "Other nations, the French, looked at a dining table and saw an opportunity to have dinner. We looked at a dining table and saw an opportunity to play wiff waff. That is why London is the sporting capital of the world." |
