Buddhist ping pong

Buddhist monks playing table tennis in a monastery in Chengdu. They are using a pingpong ball that is the same colour as the robes of the monk on the left as its trajectory makes an arch over to the right.

Love this image the leg structure of the table is remarkably elegant and well desighned, as are the wall screens surrounding the "Players" magnificent place to play.

Well a well timed pic.

I like how the arc of the pin pong reflects the arc of the table as well.

Hello from the BBC!

We'd love to add your photo to the BBC Sport Olympics group.

We're looking for photos of people taking part in any of the 28 sports in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, to go with our own photos of top athletes at BBC filming sessions and in training.

If you add your photo to our group, it could be selected to appear on BBC Sport's Olympics homepage.

(Make sure you're happy about that before you add your photo, and please read "About BBC Sport Olympics" on the group page for more details.)

If you'd like to add any similar photos you've uploaded to Flickr, feel free!

Thanks and best wishes,

BBC Sport
