B.C. table tennis stars set to shine at Santiago 2023
Two B.C. table tennis athletes, Mo Zhang and Ivy Liao, are among the six players who have been chosen to represent Canada at the upcoming Santiago 2023 Pan American Games this fall.
Born and raised in Vancouver, Ivy Liao is thrilled about the opportunity to compete at the Games. Liao has been playing table tennis for around 15 years and competed in Lima in 2019. To secure her position on the Canadian team during the selection tournament, Liao went through the intense round-robin stage, finishing second in her group. She then progressed to the knockout stage, where she secured her place by winning the match for third place.
The 2023 Pan American Games will take place from Oct. 29 to Nov. 5 at the Centro de Entrenamiento Olímpico. The event holds special importance as the gold and silver medallists in the mixed doubles category will directly qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
