Olympic viewers think a table tennis athlete has 'defied physics' with a truly outrageous shot played in the sport's final.
The one thing the Olympics does provide every fours years is the opportunity to watch sport you wouldn't typically take an interest in.
Handball is one that comes to mind, with many viewers hooked on the sport despite not knowing the rules.

Table tennis is another and fans watching have been left shocked by a shot played by Swedish table tennis player, Truls Moregardh, playing against China's Fan Zhendong in the gold medal match.
Moregardh was just two points away from losing in Paris when he played a truly outrageous shot.
After a lengthy rally, the Olympian scooped a shot as the ball was just about to touch the ground.

The Swede even put some impressive spin on the shot before it bounced on Fan's side of the net.
The ball then headed off the surface and gave Moregardh perhaps one of the most impressive points taken in table tennis at the Olympics.

"Sweden's Truls Möregårdh was on the verge of defeat in the table tennis Olympic final and said he wanted to do something fun for the crowd. This is so good," one person penned on Twitter.
