Abstract: We prove under the assumption of Martin's Axiom that every precompact Abelian group of size $\leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ belongs to the smallest class of groups that contains all Abelian countably compact groups and is closed under direct products, taking closed subgroups and continuous isomorphic images.
