  • 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.

    Chinese Tennis 1 Chinese Tennis 中国网球 Chinese Ladies Win Wimbledon Title 中国女选手温网夺冠 Read the text below and do the activity that follows. 阅读下面的短文，然后完成练习： China has won its first ever Wimbledon trophy with a three set victory by Yan Zi and Zheng Jie over veteran duo Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suarez in the womens’ doubles. The fourth-seeded Chinese pair made history by destroying their opponents 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in a game lasting two hours and eight minutes. They will share £205,280 in prize money. Zheng Jie summed up their achievement after the game. “We are very happy and proud to be the first Chinese Doubles Champions at Wimbledon”, she said, “It has been a very good year for us and we hope to keep winning more titles in the future.” Zheng Jie has every reason to be happy and proud – the Wimbledon win takes her career prize money earnings to over $1 million. Their Wimbledon success follows their impressive performance in the Australian Open in January of this year when they became the first ever Chinese players to win a Grand Slam competition. Zheng Jie and Yan Zi are not alone in raising the profile of Chinese tennis players internationally. Li Na managed to battle her way to the quarter-finals of the women’s singles competition before conceding defeat to Belgium’s Kim Clijsters. It seems that winning gold medals in the 2004 Athens Olympics has stimulated the development of Chinese tennis, in particular women’s tennis. Gu Jue from Shanghai TV explains, “The Chinese government invests more in women’s tennis because they have to choose a way to make improvements, but men’s tennis is much more competitive.

Demikian halnya dengan budaya kekerasan dan anarkisme sosial turut memperparah kondisi sosial budaya bangsa Indonesia. Nilai kearifan lokal yang santun, ramah, saling menghormati, arif, bijaksana, dan religius seakan terkikis dan tereduksi gaya hidup instan dan modern. Masyarakat sangat mudah tersulut emosinya, pemarah, brutal, dan kasar tanpa mampu mengendalikan diri. Fenomena itu dapat menjadi representasi melemahnya karakter bangsa yang terkenal ramah, santun, toleran, serta berbudi pekerti luhur dan mulia. Sebagai bangsa yang beradab dan bermartabat, situasi yang demikian itu jelas tidak menguntungkan bagi masa depan bangsa, khususnya dalam melahirkan generasi masa depan bangsa yang cerdas cendekia, bijak bestari, terampil, berbudi pekerti luhur, berderajat mulia, berperadaban tinggi, dan senantiasa berbakti kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.

  • Thailand Shuttling to the Top Catch up Later, Which Gave Him a Lot of Confi Dence in Such an Important Match
    NOVEMBER 16, 20 CHINA DAILY PAGE 4 BADMINTON Hope for gold sweep still alive GUANGZHOU — China’s shut- tlers overcame the huge weight of expectation on Monday to seize gold in the men’s and women’s team competitions at the Asian Games to keep alive their quest for a clean-sweep. Huge favorites in both categories, the Chinese showed little mercy, the men beating a stubborn Republic of Korea 3-1 and the women thrash- ing Th ailand 3-0. Super star Lin Dan, touted as the best player ever by some, put the men on their way at Tianhe Gymnasium, but he was far from his brilliant best at the outset, con- ceding the fi rst game 21-19 to the plucky Park Sung-hwan. Th at spurred “Super Dan” to life against the man who dumped him out of the Worlds in August in Paris and Lin won the next two games against a fast-tiring Park to win 19- 21, 21-16, 21-18 in 71 minutes. Th e Koreans won the next rub- ber in the doubles to make it 1-1, but China, roared on by vocifer- ous home support, would not be LU HANXIN / XINHUA denied for long. Thailand’s women’s badminton players, Sapsiree Taerattanachai (left), Ratchanok Intanon (middle) and Nitchaon Jindapol, had a glorious run “Th e start was not satisfactory, I in the team event before falling to China in the fi nal on Monday. was not doing well and I lost sev- eral points,” said Lin, the reigning Olympic champion.
