How to train like an Olympian: Team GB’s table tennis athletes on how to master speed

In the lead-up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, The Independent’s Kate Gill looked into what it takes to train like a Team GB athlete ahead of competing on the world stage.

IndependentTV’s How To Train Like A Olympian is a series focused on the individual fundamentals Olympians have to focus on within their training.

Four-time Olympian Liam Pitchford, 31, and Anna Hursey, 18, focus their training on mastering reaction times — an essential skill to have when you have less than a second to react.
