Sports activities continue on the indoor track that the City Council has scheduled for the Christmas holidays. If last week the table tennis tournament was played, during the recent days 28 and 30 it has been the turn of the badminton. In the matches corresponding to it, 25 players have gathered in the municipal sports hall, divided between the children’s and adult categories.
In the first, Fermín Gómez won, followed by Rodrigo Romero and Carlos Flores, while in the absolute category Álvaro García was proclaimed the winner, with Juan Francisco Gómez classifying in second place and Antonio Lavado being third.
Badminton is a racket sport in which two players or two pairs face off on opposite halves of a rectangular court divided by a net.
Unlike other racquet sports such as tennis, badminton is not played with a ball, but with a shuttlecock. The players must hit the shuttlecock with their rackets so that it crosses the track above the net and falls into the opponent’s sector. The point ends when the shuttle hits the ground, after passing the net.
