Expected to be one of the most-watched sports in Asian Games 2006, Badminton owes its fame to the thousands of Asians who religiously play and follow the sport. Despite originating in Britain, Badminton has become the domain of Asian players of late.
Known to be the fastest racquet sport in the world today, Badminton is all about alertness and sagacity. A good Badminton player is the one that can judge the opponent's moves and promptly decide his own course of action accordingly.
Participating teams in Asian Games 2006 will comprise badminton players with lightning quick reflexes and fine strokeplay.
Although Badminton is quite similar to tennis, it is played on a smaller court. At the 15th Asian Games, there will be quite a few events related to this sport. Players will compete in singles, doubles and mixed doubles categories.
Badminton started off as a mere demonstration sport in the 1958 Tokyo edition, as per the history of Asian Games. The Jakarta Asian Games were the first to include Badminton as a competitive event.
