1952 World Table Tennis Championships

1952 edition of the World Table Tennis Championships

The 1952 World Table Tennis Championships were held in Bombay from 1 to 10 February 1952. The 1952 World Championships were marked by the arrival of the Japanese as a Table Tennis force on the world scene. In another first, the Chief Referee of the tournament was an Indian, Professor Arakalgud Subbarao.

India was chosen as the hosts for the event in March 1950 at the Congress of the International Table Tennis Federation in Budapest, Hungary. Because the Championships were held in India, the entry was reduced. Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Austria and Sweden were all unable to travel to the tournament.

Medalists
