In 1971, the US Table Tennis Team was attending the World Championships in Nagoya, Japan when they received a surprise invitation to travel to China. The 15-member US delegation helped to open relations with China with this visit that created a media sensation around the world. Paddle Palace owner Judy (Bochenski) Hoarfrost was the youngest (15-year-old) member of the Ping Pong Diplomacy delegation.
