Badminton is a racket sport in which two players (singles) or two pairs (doubles) face each other, situated on opposite halves of a rectangular court divided by a net.

Unlike other racket 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 shuttlecock touches the ground, after passing the net.

Badminton is, since the Barcelona Olympic Games (1992), an Olympic sport in five modalities: men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles. In the latter, the couple is made up of a man and a woman. This sport is strongly dominated by Asian athletes: China, Indonesia and South Korea achieved 28 gold medals out of 29
