A total of 172 athletes competed in five events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.^[1] The women's doubles tournament was marred by several disqualifications during the group stage for unethical play.

All of the gold medals were won by players from China. The Chinese team also collected two silvers and one bronze, to top the medal table with eight in total. Denmark finished in second place, with one silver and one bronze won.
