Badminton is a racket sport that is played indoors, where two players (singles) or two pairs (doubles) compete by throwing a shuttlecock over a net. The objective of the game is to make the shuttlecock fall into the opponent's camp, preventing it from touching the ground in his own camp. The origin of badminton dates back to ancient India, where the game was called "Poona". The players then used wooden rackets and a feather ball. The game became popular in England at the end of the 19th century, where it was played in gardens and parks. This is where we started using a feather shuttlecock, which is lighter and more manageable than the ball. In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort introduced the game to his estate of Badminton House, Gloucestershire, England, where it was played in a practice hall converted into a badminton court. This is where the name badminton comes from. The sport quickly spread in British aristocratic circles, before becoming popular with the general public. The first national championship was organized in 1899 in England, and badminton became an Olympic sport in 1992 in Barcelona. Today, badminton is played all over the world, both for leisure and competition, and has many followers thanks to its ease of access and its many health benefits.
