Bruce Lee Won Olympic Gold Medal In Table Tennis Using Nunchucks As Racket

 July 21, 1964

News in a flash—Bruce Lee won an Olympic gold medal in Men's Table Tennis with a nunchaku for a racket. Hongkong, being the host of the games, and Bruce Lee, undoubtedly history's greatest martial artist, were allowed by the Olympic Committee to use a nunchaku while his opponents could use any type of racket they may wish. Bruce dazzled everyone as his spectacular nunchaku mastery was put on full display, sweeping the competition by beating every top player in the sport, swatting and meowing his way through to the top to claim the gold for his country.
