INTRODUCTION

Badminton is a historically popular and highly skilful racquet game. It is played with a
shuttlecock on a rectangular court. Like tennis, the game can be played as singles or doubles –
with one person on each side, or two.

Players dart around the court, putting their reactions and reflexes against the opposition.
Four miles can be travelled by a player in the duration of a match, so fitness is paramount.

The shuttlecock flies through the air in amateur and professional games alike, giving the
feathered (usually plastic) projectile its affectionate nick name of the ‘bird’. In fact, a powerful
smash or serve in badminton regularly beats the top speeds of those of a world class tennis player
– up to around 260 kph for world class badminton players, compared to Andy Roddick’s world-
record serve of 246 kph. As such, badminton is arguably the world’s fastest racquet sport.

HISTORY

Badminton was first played in ancient Greece and Egypt, when

players hit an early version of the shuttlecock, made of bird’s
feathers, with racquets. It is thought to have been developed from a
game called ‘battledore and shuttlecock’, a favorite among children.

A version of the game reached India in the 1700s, where it was

called “poona”. The British army brought this game to Britain, after
being stationed in India in the nineteenth century. It became known
as badminton after a party hosted by the Duke of Beaufort in 1873,
at his Gloucestershire abode, Badminton.

Badminton in Britain
After being introduced to Britain, badminton became popular
among elite circles. The Bath Badminton Club formed and drew up a
list of rules which clarified and simplified the rules of the Indian game,
which had been followed since its introduction to Britain. The new rules
were drawn up in 1887. In 1895, the Bath Badminton Club, which was
the first such organization in Britain, was superseded by the
Badminton Association of England. The Association again reviewed and
standardized the regulations, and has governed the rules ever since.

The popularity of the sport in Britain has continued to increase

since its introduction. There were about 300 badminton clubs in Britain in 1920. This grew to over
9,000 shortly after World War II.

World Domination
The sport continued to spread throughout the world and, in 1934, the International
Badminton Federation (IBF) was founded by nine member countries – England, Scotland, Wales,
Ireland, France, Denmark, Netherlands, Canada and New Zealand. In 1981, the IBF became
badminton’s international governing body. The International Badminton Federation was renamed
the Badminton World Federation in 2006.

Badminton in the Philippines

In Philippines, it was in the 1920 when British and American expatriates introduced
badminton in the country. As early as 1950's, the International Badminton Federation (IBF)
recognized the Philippines as its 21st member country. Since then, Filipino's have been playing
badminton in international tournaments. In 1949 national rankings produced Adriano Torres, first
national Men's single champion. In 1952, the Philippine Badminton Association (PBA) was created
and became the first national badminton group, organized by 28 badminton clubs. Johnny Yan and
Stephen Cheng were the countries first doubles champions at the Hong Kong Open held on 1962.

In the 1966 Triangular Meet in Vietnam, the Philippine team achieved its first team
championship in the Men's division namely Amando Yanga, Conrado Co, Jaime Gapas, Renato
Navarro, and Danny So. In 1981, the Philippine badminton team participated in the Southeast
Asian (SEA) games. The country hosted the event. In 1984, the Philippines made its first
appearance in the Thomas Cup tournament. The eighties to the mid-nineties saw a new crop of
luminaries in the game - Renato Reyes, Jessie Alonzo, Salvador "Badong" Banquiles, Antonio "Jojo"
Mance, Jr. and Naresh Ramnani. And in 1992 Melvin Llanes became the first Philippine champion at
the Prince Asian Juniors Championship for the 16-under age group. It was in 1992 when the
Philippines first played in the Uber Cup games, resulting in a victory over Tanzania. It was
duplicated in 1998 when the Philippine ladie's team defeated Mauritius at the Uber Cup Asian Zonal
Championship.

In 1995 Australian International Championships (IBF-sanctioned international tournament),

Weena Lim and Kennie Asuncion were the first Philippine entry (ladies double) to win a gold medal,
and in 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Weena became the first Philippine badminton player to qualify and
participate in the prestigious game. In 1997 SEA games in Jakarta, Weena Lim and Kennie
Asuncion were the first bronze medallist in the women's doubles event.

Competition History
In 1899, a men’s tournament was arranged in England – the first of its kind. The following
year, a woman’s tournament was arranged. Both of these competitions were unofficial – official all
– England matches did not begin until 1904.
The IBF held the first international badminton competition after World War II, during the 1948-9
season. The Thomas Cup, named after the federation’s president, Sir George Thomas, was solely a
competition for male players. It was not until the 1957-57 season that the ladies’ tournament, the
Uber Cup, was introduced.

There are now numerous international competitions, and badminton was played in the Olympic
Games for the first time in 1992, when Barcelona was the host city.
