Clarifying governance in table tennis

I should disclaim that I don’t have current browsing info and ask what the user is looking for—like fact-checking or background on governance. The ITTF organizes World Cups while the IOC decides on Olympic event formats. Changes to Olympic formats need IOC Executive Board approval. The mixed team event is often discussed. It was introduced in the 2023 ITTF Mixed Team World Cup, which was a pilot format. Speculation exists about including it in LA 2028.Clarifying Olympic format processes

The user's assertion about the Olympic format being "misreported" makes sense; changes do require IOC approval, and the ITTF can propose them. I should clarify the difference between misreporting and reality, explaining the processes, constraints, and timelines. The IOC approved the LA28 program in 2022. Adding a new event or replacing existing formats requires the Executive Board's decision. The Mixed Team World Cup has a unique format, but I should avoid being too specific if I'm uncertain about the details.Providing clarification on formats

I think it would be better to give a generic explanation about World Cup scoring tweaks potentially testing audience-friendly formats. Olympic competitions currently use best-of-5 matches, where teams play to 11 points. I need to avoid any risk of hallucination, so it seems wise to ask a clarifying question regarding what the user wants me to do. I can offer to fact-check or explain how Olympic formats are decided, while summarizing governance steps in a neutral tone. I'll respond in Chinese to match the user’s language.Explaining Olympic formats

I want to acknowledge the user’s claim. Olympic event formats are determined by the IOC, while the International Federation (IF) makes proposals. Changes need Executive Board approval, and the timeline for LA28 is largely set, with fine details finalized 2–3 years out. Radical changes are unlikely, but test events can influence decisions. I should also clarify the distinction between "赛制" (format) and "项目设置" (event), as media might conflate the two. If they want, I can verify with the latest ITTF/IOC statements or draft a correction post.
