  • Entrevista a Lee Chong
    ENTREVISTA A LEE CHONG WEI Traducció de l’entrevista apareguda a http://www.badminton-information.com/lee-chong- wei.html Lee Chong Wei és un jugador professional de bàdminton, nascut a Malàisia. Va guanyar la medalla de plata a les olimpíades de Pequí 2008, amb la qual cosa es va convertir en el primer malai en aconseguir arribar a una final olímpica a l’individual masculí, acabant amb la sequera de medalles per Malàisia des de les olimpíades de 1996. Com a jugador d’individual, va aconseguir per primer cop ser número 1 al rànquing mundial el 21 d’agost de 2008, posició que ostenta també a l’actualitat. És doncs el tercer jugador masculí malai que aconsegueix aquesta posició (Rashid Sidek i Roslin Hasim ho van aconseguir abans) i és l’únic del seu país que ha mantingut aquesta posició d’honor per més de dues setmanes. Lee és també l’actual campió de l’All England. Tot i haver guanyat diferents títols en importants competicions internacionals, com són varis Super Series, i malgrat el seu estatus entre l’elit mundial, només ha aconseguit la medalla de bronze (al 2005) en campionats del món. 1. A quina edat vas començar a jugar? Als 11 anys. 2. Sempre vas tenir la intenció de fer-te jugador professional? No, en absolut. Vaig començar a jugar de forma totalment natural, ja que el meu pare entrenava i em va animar a mi a fer-ho també. 3. Quan et vas adonar que eres suficientment bo com per donar “guerra” a nivell mundial? Em sembla que tenia 17 anys.

  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.

  • Lin Dan Vs Lee Chong Wei: Lin 22 Wins with the Longest Winning Streak Four Times in a Row
    Lin Dan vs Lee Chong Wei: Lin 22 wins with the longest winning streak four times in a row In the early morning of March 12 of Beijing time, 2012 All England Open Badminton Championships had started the men's singles finals of the competition, Once again, the final showdown between Lin and Lee had begun. Lin won the opening game with a close score of 21-19. Unfortunately in the second game with Lin leading 6-2, Lee Chong Wei had to retire. Thus Lin claimed the championship this year without further resistance. This is the fifth All England men's singles title won by Lin Dan. He has also made history winning the most All England men's singles gold medals in the last 36 years. Lin and Lee are undoubtedly the most successful and spectacular players in today’s world badminton men’s singles. The fight between them is also known as the "Lin-Lee Wars”; this is not only the indication of the intensity of their fights; it is also a good description of the smell of the gunpowder produced from their countless encounters. So far, they have met a total of 31 times; Lin Dan has a record of 22 wins and 9 losses against Lee Chong Wei, an obvious advantage on the win-loss ratio. The first meeting was at the Thomas Cup in 2004, when Lin Dan won 2-1. They last played against each other at the 2012 South Korea's Super Series, Lin Dan was overturned by his opponent 1-2.

In this study, the effect of Endorser Credibility, Endorser Likeability, Brand Image and Brand Credibility on Brand Attitude and Purchase Intention was examined. The respondents were 96 university students in Malaysia. Correlation analyses showed that all four independent variables positively and significantly affected Brand Attitude and Purchase Intention. Further multiple linear regression analyses showed that Brand Credibility was more important than Endorser Credibility in positively affecting Brand Attitude. In addition, both Endorser Credibility and Endorser Likeability were more important than Brand Credibility in positively affecting Purchase Intentions. The findings add to previous research on the importance of Celebrity Endorsement and provides practical guidance in marketing. In particular, the significance of Celebrity Endorsement over Brand Credibility in Purchase Intentions suggests further research. The findings in this research is limited to the purchase behaviour of urban young adults in Malaysia.

    Gregoria dan Intanon Pagi Ini Perebutkan Tiket Perempat Final Realitarakyat.com – Perjuangan wakil Indonesia dari cabang olahraga bulu tangkis dan panahan memasuki fase gugur, sementara dayung akan bersaing dalam perebutan peringkat di Olimpiade Tokyo, Kamis (29/7/2021). Pebulu tangkis tunggal putri Gregoria Mariska Tunjung menjadi atlet Indonesia pertama yang tampil pada hari ini. Tepat pukul 07.00 WIB, ia akan bersaing dengan wakil Thailand Ratchanok Intanon untuk memperebutkan tiket perempat final. Perjalanan Gregoria di fase gugur memang tak mudah. Untuk bisa melaju ke babak berikutnya, ia harus bisa menyingkirkan Intanon yang secara peringkat berada di posisi keenam dunia, jauh di atas Gregoria di urutan ke-23. Bahkan sepanjang tujuh pertemuan sebelumnya, wakil Indonesia tak pernah menang dari Intanon. Seperti yang terjadi pada laga terakhir di Malaysia Masters 2020, ketika Gregoria kalah dari Intanon dengan skor 24-22, 19-21, 15-21. Meski secara statistik tak diunggulkan, Gregoria mengaku akan berjuang dan tak ingin membuang kesempatan. “Saya tidak peduli siapa lawan yang akan saya hadapi di babak 16 besar nanti. Saya sudah siap memberikan yang terbaik, siapa pun lawannya. Saya tidak mau membuang kesempatan yang berharga ini,” kata Gregoria dalam laman Federasi Bulu Tangkis Dunia (BWF), Rabu (28/7/2021). Gregoria melaju ke babak 16 besar setelah menyelesaikan fase penyisihan sebagai juara Grup M. Ia sukses sapu bersih dua laga dengan menaklukkan pemain Myanmar Thet Htar Thuzar 21-11, 21-8 dan wakil Belgia Lianne Tan dua gim langsung 21-11, 21-17. Dua kemenangan tersebut menjadi modal penting Gregoria dalam menghadapi Intanon yang merupakan juara Grup N. Setelah itu pada hari yang sama, dua pasangan ganda putra Indonesia Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo dan Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan akan berurutan tampil bersaing dengan lawan masing-masing di perempat final.

The History of Badminton: Badminton House and Estate lies in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside and is the private home of the 12th Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and the Somerset family. The House is not normally open to the general public, it dates from the 17th century and is set in a beautiful deer park which hosts the world-famous Badminton Horse Trials. The Great Hall at Badminton House is famous for an incident on a rainy day in 1863 when the game of badminton was said to have been invented by friends of the 8th Duke of Beaufort.
