Major achievements in table tennis by nation
This is a list of countries according to the best position achieved by athletes of these nations in each of the five major table tennis world tournaments approved by the International Table Tennis Federation (the World Table Tennis Championships, the Summer Olympic Games, the Summer Universiade, the Table Tennis World Cup and the World Tour Grand Finals), as well as the Youth Olympics. The conventions used on this table follow the ITTF guidelines, namely: MS for men's singles, WS for women's singles, MD for men's doubles, WD for women's doubles, XD for mixed doubles, MT for men's team, WT for women's team and XT for mixed team. Please note that medals earned at the ITTF World Tour stages are not counted, only medals earned at Grand Final events. Medals earned by athletes from defunct NOCs or historical teams have been merged with the results achieved by their immediate successor states, as follows: Russia inherits medals from the Soviet Union; Serbia inherits medals from Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro; Czech Republic inherits medals from Czechoslovakia; Vietnam inherits medals from South Vietnam; India inherits medals from British India; and Germany inherits medals from Republic of Weimar, West Germany and East Germany. Results achieved in cadet, junior or U21 events were not considered for the making of this table, except for medals earned at the Youth Olympics. The table is pre-sorted by total number of gold medal results, silver medal results and bronze medal results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, countries are listed in alphabetical order.
Results
Note: A red background indicates the result was achieved in doubles or team events where each athlete represented a different country. These results are considered valid for both countries and accounted for in the final ranking.
