The 6th table tennis world championship took place from January 25th to 30th, 1932 in Prague (Czechoslovakia) in the hall of the national home in Smíchov .

Overview

The tournament suffered from the cramped space: You could only set up five tables and the spectator area was considerably too small. Romania and Sweden were absent due to economic difficulties, but France took part in the World Cup for the first time.

The Hungarians ruled the scene again. Except for the men's teams, they won all titles.

In the team fights there was a tie after the regular everyone-against-everyone group games, which is why Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Austria had to play the title in a deciding round. The 5-0 defeat of Hungary's men's team in the second round against Czechoslovakia was sensational. Czechoslovakia also beat Hungary in the final. For the first time, the world champion was not Hungary - host Czechoslovakia won the title. Germany reached the 5th place. A better ranking was only achieved 30 years later.

In the men's singles, Victor Barna took back the title. In a high-class and competitive final, he defeated the defending champion, although he was already 13:17 behind in the fifth set.

There was also a changing of the guard in the women's singles: Mária Mednyánszky was not world champion for the first time - after five titles in a row. She was defeated in the final by Anna Sipos (Hungary), who was second and third several times in the previous World Championships. One reason for this could be that she played with a penholder stick position until 1932 . After switching to the "normal" shakehand position, it got stronger.
