Britain Table Tennis team makes it to the London Olympics 2012

It's official! The Britain team will feature at the 2012 London Olympics. The Men's and Women's team were given three host nation qualification places.

Earlier, there was a controversy and the British Olympic Association (BOA) had asked the British Table Tennis Federation (BTTF) to prove its ability (read medal winning prospects). It now appears that the Federation was able to demonstrate its potential. The British Table Tennis team had not managed to qualify from the various international events.

BOA CEO, Andy Hunt is now satisfied and said that the BTTF had demonstrated that they have laid "solid foundations to maximize the opportunity of competing at a home games."

Andy Hunt, CEO of the British Olympic Association (BOA) wants the Table Tennis players to prove themselves before they travel to the Olympic games of 2012.

The British players are training hard from the last couple of years to make their Olympic dreams come true. Hunt hinted that a decision on the Table Tennis Players' inclusion in Britain's Olympic squad is still pending.

Hunt was speaking to BBC. He was not convinced with the presentation and wants a few more questions answered and some more information from the officials.

There is still no date for the decision by BOA regarding the Table Tennis players' automatic inclusion.
