To encourage competition, some event organizers or federations implement rules to prevent podium sweeps. At the 2008?Olympic?Games, China won all 6 medals at the singles events in Table?Tennis, across both genders. Following this, the ITTF limited each country at the Olympics to entering a maximum of two contestants per gender in the singles competition, thereby ensuring that no country could win more than 4 of the 6 medals available.
