  • Badminton England Strategy 2017-2025
    So many great things have happened across English badminton in recent years. Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge created history at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games when they won Great Britain’s first ever Men’s Doubles Medal, Chris and Gabby Adcock won the World Superseries Finals Mixed Doubles title in 2015, badminton secured its position as the nation’s most popular racket sport with almost 1m people playing every month, year on year the Yonex All England just got bigger and better with record breaking crowds attending the 107th Championships, we successfully bid for the Yonex All England to be recognised among the top 3 ‘majors’ of world badminton, our member and fan base grew to more than 150,000 people, we welcomed new commercial and broadcast partners to the organisation and we have experienced massive growth in digital engagement across the various platforms. Just some of the amazing achievements that provide the platform to deliver even greater growth and success for English badminton. Discover Badminton is a clear statement of intent to do just that. The development of the strategy involved more than 50 consultation days spanning the length and breadth of the country involving many County Badminton Associations, clubs, leagues, coaches and members. The message we heard was very clear; more badminton in schools, more support to clubs, more people playing and competing, more volunteers and increased help to the current volunteer workforce and more coaches when they are needed. We listened and we understood and the ‘asks’ of us are embedded into Discover Badminton. Discover Badminton is also a welcoming statement to anyone who wants to take part in our great sport.

Farah ran a superb tactical race before obliterating the opposition in the final stretch to became the first British runner to win three Olympic titles. He is now the favourite to add a fourth in the 5,000m next week. The second half of the race was a masterclass in dis- tance running by Farah, who was accidentally tripped with 16 laps to go by American training partner Galen Rupp but picked himself up and surged through the field to claim victory in 27 minutes 5.17 seconds.
