  • 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.

  • (Corim) Montreal, 18 May 2018 Address by Sir Craig Reedie
    CONSEIL DES RELATIONS INTERNATIONALES DE MONTREAL (CORIM) MONTREAL, 18 MAY 2018 ADDRESS BY SIR CRAIG REEDIE, WADA PRESIDENT From Montreal to the world: Through turbulent times, WADA is leading the fight against doping in sport Distinguished guests, ‘bonjour’. I would like to thank my hosts at the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations for the invitation to speak today on behalf of the World Anti-Doping Agency. I am aware that I follow in the footsteps of prime ministers, ambassadors, captains of industry, scientists, generals and some of the great leaders of our time who have previously addressed you from this stage. It is a privilege to be here – and to be joined by WADA’s founding president and Montrealer, Dick Pound, who led the Agency from 1999 to 2007; WADA’s current Director General, Olivier Niggli; and, other Agency colleagues in the room -- to give you an insight into the world of anti-doping; of those who try to cheat; and, of those of us who are tasked with stopping them. My background is entirely from the world of sport. A promising – but not sufficiently promising – badminton player who moved into administration. We rebuilt the Scottish Badminton Union, which then led to the International Badminton Federation. As President 1 of that body, I was able to persuade the International Olympic Committee to add the sport to the Olympic Program. I moved on to the British Olympic Association and chaired the meeting in January 1994, which took the decision to change our candidate city for an Olympic Bid from Manchester to London.
