Rumours have been confirmed by the Oceania Table Tennis Federation on facebook today. 50 year old veteran Li Chunli from New Zealand, denied her initial right to compete in the Olympic Games after having qualified for Oceania, will be one of the entries for the World Final Olympic Qualification in Doha. The veteran champion qualified 2nd in Oceania but the NZOC criteria was not met and the places earnt by NZ players were hence given to the next qualifiers,Vanuatu, who took them gladly.

Doha will be a tough qualifying group with apparently just 2 Olympic places available. Whether Chunli can make it remains to be seen, just over a week until we will see for ourselves!
