Badminton originated from badminton-like sports in Asia and Europe. What is the badminton competition in the Olympic Games?

/kloc-Before the 8th century, badminton originated from shuttlecock-like games in Asia and Europe. In the18th century, the French painter Xia Erdan painted a picture entitled "Badminton". The picture shows a girl holding a badminton in her left hand and a racket with a racket face in her right hand. The shape of the ball and racket is basically the same as it is now, only a little bigger.

Modern badminton originated in England. Century materials spread to Scandinavia and Commonwealth countries, then to America, Asia, Oceania countries and finally to Africa. Badminton is a kind of ball game on the badminton court, and it is also a small ball game that can be played indoors and outdoors. It has the characteristics of small space, simple equipment, convenient exercise and is suitable for men, women and children. This is a good fitness activity. However, badminton is an antagonistic game. When hitting the ball, the flying speed of the ball changes, such as speed, weight, height, distance, dexterity and drift, which requires athletes to have good strength, speed and endurance, flexible footwork, quick response and comprehensive skills. Its violent activities are even greater than football and basketball. It is precisely because it has this unique "elastic" amount of exercise that it is quite popular with the public.

Badminton competitions are divided into men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles, as well as men's and women's team competitions. In men's and women's team competitions, they play nine games (five singles and four doubles), and in women's team competitions, they play seven games (three singles and four doubles). Doubles and men's singles competitions are all one game 15 points, and women's singles competitions are one game 1 1 points. Each game usually adopts the best of three games system.

At present, the world badminton is developing in the direction of "fast" and "active attack". Basically, it is mainly to improve the offensive skills in the backcourt and quickly control the front of the net, but each has its own characteristics. China athletes have comprehensive basic skills, especially good footwork. Their offensive skills are generally fast, flexible, active and changeable, and they have adhered to and developed their unique style of fast, ruthless, accurate and flexible.
