The 2012 European Table Tennis Championships
Five days of intense action in Herning, Denmark
By Martin Hughes
Owner and Editor
The European Table Tennis Championships first took place in 1958 in Hungary.
You can read all about them here.
Initially it was a biennial event, taking place in even numbered years, but from 2007 to 2011 it was held every year during September or October.
However, in February 2010 it was decided that the individual events would be played every year during October, but the team events would again be a biennial event, starting in 2013.
In 2012 it was the turn of the Denmark to host this prestigious event from 17-21 October.
