(Reuters) - Hong Kong's Wong Chun Ting is part of a dying breed in table tennis thanks to his penhold grip on the bat but the world number eight hopes to revive the style by winning a medal at the Rio Olympics.
While the European-style shakehand grip is now in the ascendancy, Wong decided on the penhold style to emulate China's Wang Hao, who won three consecutive individual Olympic silver medals in Athens, Beijing and London using the technique.
