A Brief History Of Badminton A surprisingly long history for one of the olympics newest sports! badminton sdebut as an olympic sport has clearly boosted interest internationally. http://users.erols.com/wiker/history.htm
Extractions: Badminton was invented long ago; its origins date back at least two thousand years to the game of battledore and shuttlecock played in ancient Greece, India and China. A surprisingly long history for one of the Olympics newest sports! Badminton took its name from Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the home of the Duke of Beaufort, where the sport was played in the last century. By coincidence, Gloucestershire is now the base for the International Badminton Federation. The IBF was founded in 1934 with nine members - Canada, Denmark, England, France, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales. The USA joined four years later. Membership grew steadily over the following years with a surge in new members after badminton's Olympic debut at Barcelona. As the sport's development program grows, the current 130 members is expected to increase further. The first major IBF tournament was the Thomas Cup (world men's team championships) in 1948. Since then, the number of world events has increased to seven, with the addition of the Uber Cup (ladies' team), World Championships, Sudirman Cup (mixed team), World Juniors, World Grand Prix Finals and the World Cup. The World Cup invitational event started in 1981 and is organized by the International Management Group (IMG). The World Cup series is due to end in 1997 and the IBF is considering organizing exhibition matches featuring the world's top players to replace the World Cup.

Extractions: Badminton is a sport that can be played by men and women of all skill levels and all ages. But to compete at the highest levels successfully, athletes must develop special skills such as technique, stamina, strength, and flexibility. The sport has spread around the world and is especially popular in Asia where spectators can exceed 15,000 in important contests. In Greece, Badminton is becoming increasingly popular. In 1995, when it was formally recognised by the General Secretariat of Sport, there were only 90 officially registered players. Today, there are over 3,500. During the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games, Badminton competition attracted a lot of attention. Countries with long tradition in the sport sent their best athletes, after a twelve-month selection process.

Extractions: and The Ancient History of Badminton Before Iran and Iraq were countries, the area was known as Babylonia. And this is where the game of badminton began. Although it technically wasn't a game for them. It was more like hocus-pocus fortune telling. The Babylonians were big on this sort of stuff, and would go to a priest (for a fee of course) to get their future told. The priest would do it in several ways: Dice, Cards, Tea Leaves, Bones, Dreams, and a few other gross ways I won't go into. But, another technique that the so-called future predicting priest used to foresee a person's future was a ceremony rather than a one-on-one personal reading. A crowd would form. Incense was lit. Drums were banged. Magical chants were sung. You in the mood yet? Should be. Out comes the priest, with two participants each holding a wooden paddle. Then the priest called for silence! A hush came over the crowd, and the two people with the paddles then batted a ball made of tightly wound wool yarn back and forth. The length of time they kept the ball in play was suppose to reveal how long they would live. Well, this worked for a while until the people finally caught on that they were not really discovering their future because in reality they really had control over it by keeping the ball in the air as long as they wanted and so they are the ones that really had influence over their futures, not the priests.

Extractions: Badminton Its a fact that would surprise many people, but badminton is the worlds fastest racquet sport. During world-class matches, the shuttlecock is belted back and forth over the net at speeds that would make even a touring car champion go weak at the knees. Speeds of up to 260 kilometres an hour have been recorded, making agility and super-quick reflexes essential. Badminton became an Olympic sport in Barcelona in 1992, and had an immediate impact, returning some of the highest global television ratings of any sport. The reason for this is simple - it is huge in Asia. This popularity is reflected in results. Asian nations took home 14 of the 15 badminton medals at the Atlanta Games.
