  • Olympic Badminton Teams Disqualified
    Olympic Badminton Teams Disqualified By Ryan Yuen August 3rd, 2012 Four female badminton pairs, the top seeds from China, one from Indonesia and two from South Korea, have been ejected from the Olympics for trying to lose matches on Tuesday. They were kicked out of the tournament the next day and have been charged with “not using one's best efforts to win a match and conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport,” by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The players were accused of “not doing their best to win a match and abusing or demeaning the sport” by the BWF so that they could play less challenging opponents in future matches. Their continuous serves to the net and returns out of bounds made it apparent that all four pairs were not trying their best. Spectators replied with boos and downward pointing thumbs, expressing their anger towards the players for their awful performance and sportsmanship. All the players had been Qualified for the Quarterfinals before the matches on Tuesday, not giving them many benefits of winning and making the more favorable choice to seem like losing. China lost the match to South Korea 21-14, 21-11, proving themselves to be the better losers and successfully getting into the less challenging side of the draw to avoid playing China’s number two seeded pair. The Chinese doubles pair gave their apologies for their actions after their disqualification. "I think firstly we should apologize to the Chinese audience, because we did not demonstrate the Olympic spirit.

  • 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.

  • MAHATHIR WINS VIET OPEN PRELIMINARY ROUND (Bernama
    19 NOV 1997 VN-Badminton MAHATHIR WINS VIET OPEN PRELIMINARY ROUND HANOI, Nov 18 (Bernama) -- The Vietnam Open 97 badminton tournament began today with trepidation among members of the comparatively small Malaysian team but with Mahathir Mustaffa easily winning his preliminary round. Mahathir, the sole men's singles player in the team, began ticking after a lethargic start to beat unknown Thai Sirachai Panpatchara 15-10, 5-4 at the Hanoi Indoor Stadium here. The other singles player registered for the Vietnam Open 97 -- the last leg of the badminton circuit before the World Grand Prix championships in Jakarta next month -- was Jason Wong but he had opted out because of injury. Mahathir faces a relatively experienced British player Mark Constable later in the evening which would also see the mixed doubles encounter between Tan Kim Her-Norashikin Amin and Denmark's Larsen Jesper-Ann Jorgensen. Recuperating from injury would also be in the minds of national pair Cheah Soon Kit and Yap Kim Hock as this will only be the second international outing by the two together since the Thai Open. Before last week's Thai Open Kim Hock was absent from the badminton scene since May due to injuries. Kim Hock had stated that he would try his best but could not be playing 100 per cent due to the long absence. The seeded pair, now slated as world no 13, will only get to play tomorrow meeting the winners of the match between Vietnam's Le Dai Thang-Tran Duc Sang and Singapore's Patrick Lau-Zhao Jianhua.

  • 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.

  • US-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas
    U.S.-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 8, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42784 U.S.-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas Summary Over the past several years, the South China Sea (SCS) has emerged as an arena of U.S.-China strategic competition. China’s actions in the SCS—including extensive island-building and base- construction activities at sites that it occupies in the Spratly Islands, as well as actions by its maritime forces to assert China’s claims against competing claims by regional neighbors such as the Philippines and Vietnam—have heightened concerns among U.S. observers that China is gaining effective control of the SCS, an area of strategic, political, and economic importance to the United States and its allies and partners. Actions by China’s maritime forces at the Japan- administered Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea (ECS) are another concern for U.S. observers. Chinese domination of China’s near-seas region—meaning the SCS and ECS, along with the Yellow Sea—could substantially affect U.S. strategic, political, and economic interests in the Indo-Pacific region and elsewhere. Potential general U.S. goals for U.S.-China strategic competition in the SCS and ECS include but are not necessarily limited to the following: fulfilling U.S. security commitments in the Western Pacific, including treaty commitments to Japan and the Philippines; maintaining and enhancing the U.S.-led security architecture in the Western Pacific, including U.S.

  • Degree Congregations December 2011 the Inauguration of the University of Manchester
    The University of Manchester Degree Congregations December 2011 The Inauguration of The University of Manchester At midnight on 30 September 2004, UMIST and the Victoria University of Manchester were dissolved and the single institution of The University of Manchester came into existence. The formal Inauguration of the University took place on Friday, 22 October 2004 when Her Majesty The Queen visited the campus to personally present the University’s new Royal Charter to Co-Chancellor Anna Ford at a special ceremony held in the Whitworth Hall. The new institution has a distinguished heritage. It can trace its roots back to the formation of the Manchester Mechanics Institute in 1824, which later became UMIST. The Victoria University of Manchester was founded as Owens College in 1851 and became England’s first civic university in 1880. The two universities first began working together almost 100 years ago. They were situated on neighbouring campuses and this enabled them to develop a number of joint courses, departments and services. They took the decision to merge in 2003. The creation of The University of Manchester has been hailed as one of the boldest and most ambitious initiatives in higher education. This pioneering spirit carries on today, with the aim to become one of the world’s top 25 universities by 2015 backed by an ongoing £650 million investment programme in staff and facilities – the largest such investment programme in British higher education. From the President and Vice-Chancellor I welcome you all –graduands, family members and friends – to The University of Manchester for this degree congregation.
