    Badminton originated over 2,000 years ago from ancient Greek, Chinese, and Indian games played with a shuttlecock. It developed into its modern form in the 1860s when British army officers in India played a version called Poona. The game takes its name from Badminton House in Gloucestershire, England, where it was popularized in the late 1800s. It became an Olympic sport starting in 1992 in Barcelona, with men's and women's singles and doubles events. Mixed doubles was added in 1996.

    where the sport was played in the last century. Gloucestershire
    is now the base for the International Badminton Federation.

    France, Netherlands, England,
    New Zealand, Ireland,
    Scotland, and Wales.

    the Olympic Games debut at
    Barcelona.

    The Background:

    The court or lawn game played with lightweight rackets and


    a shuttlecock.

    Historically, the shuttlecock (known as a “bird” or “birdie”) was


    a small cork hemisphere with 16 goose-feathers attached and
    weighing about 0.17 ounce (5 grams).

    These types of shuttles may still be used in modern play, but


    shuttles made from synthetic materials.
