World Parkinson's Table Tennis Championships
Here we come, Greece!
After a successful event in 2021, the World Parkinson's Table Tennis Championships return in 2023 as part of the WTT4H Festival.
Anyone having Parkinson's disease can register individually. There will be 3 different classes for competition, based on how long since onset of Parkinson's and table tennis skill level. Participants must prove a diagnosis of Parkinson's from a doctor in order to register.
All matches will be officiated by ITTF Umpires, and relax zones will be available for athletes between matches. Competition will take place over four days, with all draws published the day before competition begins.
