Could Africa rule the table tennis world?

Table tennis's top players are heading to London for the World Team Championships, which start on April 28. Among them are players from 11 African nations, including Nigeria, Egypt and Tunisia.

Wahid Oshodi, president of the African Table Tennis Federation explains the importance of these championships, the strength of the sport in Africa and how he believes we could have a senior singles world champion sooner than many might think.

He tells More than the Score's Ade Adedoyin why he thinks we could see an African world medallist in the next three to four years, and identifies players to watch out for - but also points out that the funding gap between African nations and the sport's traditional powerhouses, particularly China, remains a major issue.

Ade also talks to one of Africa's top players, Egypt's four-time Olympian Dina Meshref. She tells the story of how she found the sport, and shares the reality of what it takes to compete at the highest level.
