5B (17) Giovanni Cheng Wing Yin An email to make suggestions for an article about a sports star Dear Mr. Wong, The purpose of this email is to let you know which well-known sports star I have decided to talk about. Recently, I have noticed a huge popularity in badminton among our students. I see many students bringing their own rackets to school and playing the sport during recess and lunch time. I spoke to Mr. Leung, the teacher in charge of the school badminton club as well as the school team, and he, too, has noticed a sharp increase in club members. Therefore, I have decided to choose badminton’s World Number One Men’s Singles player, Lee Chong Wei, to write an article about. He has won many championships like the Asian Games, the Commonwealth Games and the World Series. He even made it into both the Beijing Olympic Games and the London Olympic Games and came out as first runner-up against China’s Lin Dan, who is his biggest rival. Even though he lost twice to him in the Olympic Games, he never gave up. That could inspire our schoolmates not to give up! In the article, I will include some personal information about him such as what made him play badminton, how hard his trainings were, his experiences and, more importantly, how he wants to promote badminton as a fun sport to many people around the world. I will also include photos of him doing a power smash, which is his signature move. I believe students would be very inspired by the short story he told. He plays badminton because he loves the sport. He enjoys every single match and loves a challenge. He has played against great players such as Taufik Hidayat from Indonesia, Peter Gade from Denmark, Chen Long and Lin Dan from China countless times. He plays his very best and, even if he loses, he still manages a smile and warmly shakes his opponent’s hand, signifying respect and good sportsmanship. Also, for students who might actually want to be a world class player but think it’s too late or they are too young to start training, Lee Chong Wei started playing badminton when he was 11. Later, he was discovered by former Malaysian badminton star, Misbun, who saw potential in the young man. Misbun later took him under his wing and trained him to where he is now. Lee says it is never too late to start because it is all about dedication and love for the sport. With everything I have mentioned above, I believe Lee Chong Wei would be an ideal sports star to write about for our magazine. There are many good things for our schoolmates to learn such as respect, sportsmanship, never giving up and dedication. Yours sincerely, Chris Wong .

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.

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.

What Is Badminton and Its History
1 What Is Badminton And Its History The bat was initially referred to as Battledore. They continued to dominate, right until today. The players movement on the court were less organized. In fact, Denmark is known very well for bringing the standard of Badminton to a higher level in the history of badminton. When India was still a British Colony badminton was played mostly by the British military officers. Unfortunately we have yet to see England produce players of that class. The style of play in badminton has evolved over the years. It has been a while since the English had dominated the world of badminton. England Produced the Best Player in the History of Badminton. How the Name Badminton Came About. It was played by 2 Danish players. Technology made this possible. Deception also became an important element in winning badminton rallies. Peter Gade for example showed us INSANE deceptive shots. Among the Asian nations, the Chinese have been winning the most titles in almost every category, including the women s category. He even produced world class badminton deception in some major competitions. Badminton trainings are also more intense and some are even supported by sports science. The game of badminton started to become popular in India at a small town called Poona. Historical Development of Badminton. In the early 19th century, Great Britain produced many fine players. Apart from that, the strokes were also very different compared to how we hit the shuttle nowadays. The video above shows you a match between the current top 2 badminton singles player in 2009, Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia and Lin Dan of China.

DONG JIONG WITHDRAWS from MALAYSIAN OPEN (Bernama 04
04 JUL 1997 Badminton-Open DONG JIONG WITHDRAWS FROM MALAYSIAN OPEN By: Hamdan Saaid KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 (Bernama) -- Olympic silver medalist and world number one Dong Jiong of China has withdrawn from the US$180,000 (RM450,000) Malaysian Open badminton championships in Kota Kinabalu from July 9 to 13. The Chinese Badminton Association has informed the organisers that Dong, who had also pulled out from the World Championships in Glasgow due to high fever, was unable to compete due to injury. It was another set back for the championships which had earlier seen the withdrawal of reigning world champion Peter Rasmussen of Denmark while Malaysia's top doubles champ Yap Kim Hock pulled out due to shoulder injury, forcing his partner Cheah Soon Kit to find a new partner. In Dong's absence, former world champion Joko Suprianto of Indonesia has been seeded first in the six-star tournament while defending champion Ong Ewe Hock has been drawn to meet Joko in the final. According to the seedings released by the International Badminton Federation (IBF), Ewe Hock is in the same half with third seed Peter-Gade Christensen of Denmark. Christensen, who became the first European since Morten Frost Hansen to win a title in Asia when he won the Taiwan Open this year, is expected to clash with the Malaysian in the semifinal. Three-time champion Rashid Sidek has been seeded fourth and is likely to come up with Joko in the last four. Rashid beat him in the quarterfinals in the Olympi c Games in Atlanta.
