You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • Badminton Introduction
    BADMINTON INTRODUCTION Badminton is a racquet sport played on a court either by two players or two opposing pairs. Instead of a ball, a shuttlecock is hit back and forwards. Speed, fast reactions, and stamina are all important if you want to be a successful player. The Net The net is made from cord with a mesh size of 15 to 20mm. It is tightly stretched to ensure that the top edge is horizontal and at the same height as the top of the posts supporting it. Scoring The aim of Badminton is to hit a shuttle, using a racquet, over the net onto the court area before the opposition player or pair can hit it back or to force the opposition into an error. The first player or pair to reach 15 points (11 points for women's singles) wins the game. After winning a point the same player serves again, and continues to serve as long as that player or team keeps winning points. If the non-serving team wins the rally, no point is scored but there is a change of server instead. HISTORY OF BADMINTON Badminton evolved from the ancient game of Battledore and Shuttlecock. It was named ‘Badminton’ after the home of the Duke of Beaufort in Gloucestershire where, in the mid nineteenth century, it was a pastime of the Duke's guests when driven indoors by bad weather. There are currently 146 nations in the World affiliated to the A Badminton racquet ruling body, the International Badminton Federation (IBF) from the late 1950s which was formed in 1934 with a total of nine member nations.
