1969 World Table Tennis Championships

1969 edition of the World Table Tennis Championships

The 1969 World Table Tennis Championships were held in Munich from April 17 to April 27, 1969, marking the 30th edition of the contest.

During the Cultural Revolution, Chinese sports professionals were denounced as 'Sprouts of Revisionism' and were denied places at the 1967 World Table Tennis Championships and 1969 World Table Tennis Championships. Players such as Jung Kuo-tuan were persecuted and he committed suicide in 1968. Had China competed in both championships and not lost the impetus gained in the previous decade they would surely have dominated the World Championships.
