Perfect photos of ping pong players mid-match sure to perk up your day

Last year we had a massive response to Ezra Shaw’s photographs of the 14th FINA World Championships – essentially close-ups of professional divers doing their thing. Thankfully with the Olympics underway there’s more to add to the collection; close ups of table tennis players mid-game. There’s no denying that they provide pretty hilarious light-hearted relief from Olympic fever and even amateur ping-pongers will empathise with the competitive concentration etched on these faces. I can’t find out whoever took these photos but if you’re out there, thank you.
