69 players qualified to take part in the 2012 Olympic Games Mens Singles Event and the seedings have been announced
By Martin Hughes
Owner and Editor
The seedings have been announced for the 69 players who qualified to take part in the 2012 Olympic Games Men's Singles Event.
The seedings were based on the players positions in the world ranking list issued for July 2012.
The men's singles took place from 28 July to 2 August 2012 at the Excel Arena which is the largest competition venue at the London 2012 Games.
China were the hot favourites to take the Gold and Silver medals, but can no longer take all three medals as they did in Beijing in 2008 due to a change in the rules which allows only two players per NOC in the singles event.
