Question about Forrest Gump film, if you've seen many times, or have dvd ?

[Freddie700]

If anyone has the Forrest Gump dvd, or has just seen it heaps of times, who in it plays table tennis ?

Is it just Forrest and Bubba ? I know FG also is seen briefly playing with some foreign people.

MINOR SPOILERS













I believe it was just Forrest playing on his own after he got into the hospital, from which he started competing against others including some guy in China.

Yes, Gump played in China. The scene implies he was one of the famous US ping pong players who in 1971 played in a tournament in China... I think it was a pretty big diplomatic step for the time, you know with the Cold War and all that... but I'm not really an expert of the subject, maybe someone will explain it better
