Return to Main Page

Table Tennis Athletes from Australia and New Zealand participated in the 2000 Olympic Games 
As these countries are members of the Oceania Federation we thought that we would show the performances of the each athlete or pair in the games. 
As Australia was the host country they were permitted to have direct qualifiers but they still must come within the continental quota.
