ITTF museum to be moved to China from Switzerland

PARIS - The Museum of the International Table Tennis Association in Lausanne, Switzerland, will be moved to China, the ITTF President Adham Sharara said here on Wednesday.

Sharara, who was just re-elected as ITTF President, told reporters the move is to attract more visitors but the future site in China is not decided.

"The museum has been in Switzerland for 10 years and we hope to have more people to see it," the Canadian said.

He said that the former Chinese women's team coach Shi Zhihao, who was elected as vice-president of the ITTF, will be responsible for the museum's move.
