Baddy :)

Badminton is a racket sport largely popular throughout Europe and Asia. The game is played by using a racket to hit shuttlecocks, commonly known as birdies, back and forth over a net. Originating in Denmark, badminton first became an Olympic sport in the 1992 Barcelona games, featuring the singles and doubles events. Mixed doubles was later introduced in the Atlanta games of 1996. Due to it's requirements on speed, strength, agility, and quick reaction, badminton has many health benefits to players of all ages.
