I used to play badminton in winter.
Badminton in Beijing is huge - it's one of their top three sports.
Battledore and shuttlecock's a wery good game, vhen you an't the shuttlecock and two lawyers the battledores, in which case it gets too exciting to be pleasant.
Some smashes have been timed at more than 250 mph, so you get less than a second to react. People who see a professional badminton match up close are always shocked at the speed.
Badminton is like ballet dancing. It requires a lot of control, strength, mind play and measured movement
I love badminton. That's my sport!
I was a child badminton wizard.
Badminton is not as glamorous as cricket.
