Once again the Nantes Atlantique Table Tennis Club (TTC) and its Para Table Tennis division, the “Handisport section”, have decided to embark on the organisation of an International Para Table Tennis competition.

Following on from the success of the First French International Open Para Table Tennis back in 2010, the 2nd French International Open Para Table Tennis competition will consist of wheelchair and standing events plus for the first time an event for the mentally disabled.

Our club has set itself the challenge of bringing together 200 athletes from more than 25 countries, and we are confident we will achieve this with the support of our partners in the public and private sectors, together with help from our table tennis and para sporting colleagues, and that we will do so with a high degree of success.

Sportswomen, sportsmen, welcome to Nantes and the final sporting preparations leading up to the 2012 Paralympic Games in London... We wish you all well!

We would like to thank all the volunteers, partners and the general public for supporting this competition, an opportunity to see a number of Paralympic and World champions playing at their best.
