Washington, Dec 22 (AP) The table tennis world team championships have been canceled because of the pandemic.
The championships were originally scheduled for March in the South Korean city of Busan but were then postponed three times.
The International Table Tennis Federation says in a statement that it hoped to hold the event in February 2021 but was forced to cancel "due to the worsening situation in Korea Republic and with the pandemic still problematic in many regions of the world."
