No wonder the often dour Scotsman was grinning. Murray won one for the home team on Sun- day, beating Federer 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 in the tennis fi nal at Wimbledon. Th e victory marked a career breakthrough for Murray. He has lost all four of his Grand Slam finals, three against Federer, including Wimbledon a month ago. “I’ve had a lot of tough losses in my career,” he said. “Th is is the best way to come back from the Wimbledon fi nal. I’ll never forget it.” For Federer, the drubbing marked another Olympic disappointment. Playing in the Games for the fourth time, he sought a victory to com- plete a career Golden Slam but settled for silver — his fi rst singles medal. “Don’t feel too bad for me,” Federer said. “I felt like I won my silver, I didn’t lose it. So I feel really happy.” Murray swept nine consecutive games to take control, breaking Federer’s serve four times in a row, his inspired play a refl ection of raucous crowd support. He erased all nine break points he faced. “He never looked back,” Federer said. “His LIGHTNING STRIKES AGAIN credit for getting in the lead and using the crowd to come through.

  • 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.

  • Olympic Badminton Teams Disqualified
    Olympic Badminton Teams Disqualified By Ryan Yuen August 3rd, 2012 Four female badminton pairs, the top seeds from China, one from Indonesia and two from South Korea, have been ejected from the Olympics for trying to lose matches on Tuesday. They were kicked out of the tournament the next day and have been charged with “not using one's best efforts to win a match and conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport,” by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The players were accused of “not doing their best to win a match and abusing or demeaning the sport” by the BWF so that they could play less challenging opponents in future matches. Their continuous serves to the net and returns out of bounds made it apparent that all four pairs were not trying their best. Spectators replied with boos and downward pointing thumbs, expressing their anger towards the players for their awful performance and sportsmanship. All the players had been Qualified for the Quarterfinals before the matches on Tuesday, not giving them many benefits of winning and making the more favorable choice to seem like losing. China lost the match to South Korea 21-14, 21-11, proving themselves to be the better losers and successfully getting into the less challenging side of the draw to avoid playing China’s number two seeded pair. The Chinese doubles pair gave their apologies for their actions after their disqualification. "I think firstly we should apologize to the Chinese audience, because we did not demonstrate the Olympic spirit.

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Olahraga
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Olahraga bulutangkis di Indonesia sudah dikenal sejak lama oleh masyarakat Indonesia bahkan mancanegara. Hal ini ditandai dengan munculnya pemain- pemain Indonesia dalam kejuaraan-kejuaraan tingkat dunia, baik dalam nomor tunggal putra, tunggal putri, ganda putra, ganda putri, dan ganda campuran. Menurut Wikipedia, kejayaan Indonesia diawali dengan munculnya juara-juara dunia pada multi event olympiade, diawali oleh Alan Budikusuma dan Susi Susanti (Tahun 1992), Rexy Mainaky dan Ricky Subagja (Tahun 1996), Toni Gunawan dan Candra Wijaya (Tahun 2000), Taufik Hidayat (Tahun 2004), dan terakhir Markis Kido dan Hendra Setiawan (Tahun 2008). Sejak saat itulah pemain-pemain Indonesia sangat disegani oleh pemain- pemain dari luar negeri sehingga olahraga bulutangkis merupakan salah satu cabang olahraga yang mampu membawa nama harum bangsa Indonesia di kancah dunia, karena prestasi olahraga bulutangkis yang mendunia, maka prestasi yang diraih tersebut harus terus dipertahankan dan dikembangkan oleh bangsa Indonesia untuk masa sekarang dan masa yang akan datang. Tetapi pada kenyataannya, peraih medali emas multi event olympiade khususnya dalam nomor tunggal putri semakin menurun dan sampai saat ini tidak pernah ada pemain nomor tunggal putri Indonesia yang menyumbangkan medali emas pada kejuaraan tersebut, terkecuali Susi Susanti pada multi event olympiade Barcelona di Spanyol tahun 1992. Pada masa ini dan di masa yang akan datang akan terjadi persaingan yang sangat ketat antar pemain dan munculnya juara-juara baru yang menggeser juara- juara lama. Persaingan tersebut terjadi dikarenakan adanya keinginan untuk mendapatkan pengakuan dari negara-negara lain. Dalam persaingan yang sangat ketat ini maka pelatih dituntut untuk bekerja keras membina pemainnya dengan tujuan akhir tercipta seorang pemain dunia yang berprestasi dalam cabang olahraga yang dibinanya.

  • 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.

  • 3D Kinematics Analysis of Overhead Backhand and Forehand Smash Techniques in Badminton
    Ann Appl Sport Sci 9(3): e1002, 2021. http://www.aassjournal.com; e-ISSN: 2322–4479; p-ISSN: 2476–4981. 10.52547/aassjournal.1002 ORIGINAL ARTICLE 3D Kinematics Analysis of Overhead Backhand and Forehand Smash Techniques in Badminton Agus Rusdiana * Sports Science Study Program, Faculty of Sports and Health Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, West Java, Indonesia. Submitted 04 April 2021; Accepted in final form 28 June 2021. ABSTRACT Background. This study aims to analyze the movement of backhand and forehand smash stroke techniques in badminton in three dimensions using a kinematics approach. Objectives. The obtained results were analyzed using a descriptive and quantitative approach. Methods. Furthermore, 24 male badminton players from the university student activity unit with an average age of 19.4 ± 1.6 years, height of 1.73 ± 0.12 m, and weight of 62.8 ± 3.7 kg participated in this study. The study was conducted using 3 Panasonic Handycams, a calibration set, 3D Frame DIAZ IV motion analysis software, and a speed radar gun. Results. The data normalization from the kinematics values of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint motion was calculated using the inverse dynamics method. In addition, a one-way ANOVA test was used to identify differences in the kinematics of motion between two different groups. The obtained results showed that the speed of the shuttlecock during the forehand smash was greater than that during the backhand smash. In the maximal shoulder external rotation phase, two variables were identified to have the best results during the forehand smash, i.e., the velocity of shoulder external rotation and wrist palmar flexion.

  • 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.
