Hi Samuel,
In Table Tennis there is no real Grand Slam like in Tennis.
However I think the World Championships and Olympics is a special double that players are measured on.
Of course my favourite Jan Ove-Waldner will get a mention here winning them both. IN gfact he has won the Singles Gold medal and 2 World Championships SIngles titles. Liu Guoliang of China has won one of each as has his compatriot Kong Linghui.
In the Womens the Chinese take all the honours in this department. Deng Yaping is unique winning 2 Olympic Singles Golds and 3 World Singles titles. Wang Nan has won one Gold in singles at the Olympics and 3 World singles titles while Zhang Yining has won 2 Olympic Single Golds and 2 World Singles titles.
