Three Luxembourg table tennis stars, including veteran Ni Xia Lian, have made history by qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympics, highlighting a remarkable rise in the sport for the small European nation.

In a historic achievement, three members of the Luxembourg Table Tennis Association (FLTT) have qualified for the Paris Olympics 2024: Ni Xia Lian will be participating in her sixth Games in Paris this summer, Sarah De Nutte has secured her second qualification following Tokyo, while Luka Mladenovic will make his Olympic debut.

All three FLTT representatives earned their spots through their position on the world ranking. Mladenovic made an impressive leap in recent rimes, climbing from 207th place in March to 87th today, which earned him the second-last ticket to Paris.
