JSP Vol 15 No 01 1976Sep-Oct w L SPORTS PHILATELISTS r INTERNATIONAL% PHILHTEIJI Number 1 September - October 1976 Volume 15 BADMINTON POSTMARKS by REX HAGGETT If the number of stamps issued is any criteria Babminton comes third in the racquet sports popularity league table, after lawn tennis and table tennis. Even so the stamps alone would not form a very large collection because as far as I am aware, there are only 26 of them to date, 16 of which have been issued by one country - Indonesia. However, I am not concerned with the stamps in this article but with special postmarks connected with the theme. I have listed 32 of them but there will undoubtedly be omissions and I am hoping that these will be brought to my notice by readers of this article. My address may be found on page 4 of this Journal. For the purpose of cataloguing I have grouped the postmarks by events internationally, nationally and, where they do not fit into either of these categories, in a miscellaneous section at the end. INTERNATIONAL EVENTS THOMAS CUP - The institution of an International Badminton Championships was first given serious consideration by the International Badminton Federation (IBP) in 1939, and it was then that the Federation was pleased to accept from its President, Sir George Thomas, the offer of a challenge trophy for the purpose. Owing to the World War, it was not until 1948 that the first contest for the champion­ ships could be launched. The competition takes place every three years, and is divided into four zones of play for the preliminary rounds. TTie four zone winners and the champion nation of the preceding contest then meet for the title of "Champion Nation". Though officially known as the "International Badminton Championships Challenge Cup", the beautiful silver-gilt trophy is known the world over by its more familiar name of the TTiomas Cup. Manufactured in London in 1939, the cup stands 28 inches high and has a span of 16 inches, including handles. Made in three pieces, plinth, cup and lid, the latter is surmounted by a figure of a player. Engraved on the front of the cup are the words, "the International Badminton Championship Challenge Cup presented to the International Badminton Federation bv Sir George Thomas, Bart., 1939".

CUP ^E>. ^**«*fc >3N* EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS - Players from England, Denmark, West Germany, Sweden . and Scotland competed in these championships which were held in Karlskrona, Sweden from 12th to 16th April, 1972 and organized by the European Badminton Union. Al. Handstamp struck in black on mail posted at the event. N.B. EM in the postmark are the initial letters of "Europa Masterskap" (European Championships). OLYMPIC GAMES - Such is the popularity of the Games that many sports which would like to be represented are not because limitations have had to be placed on the number of events so as not to make the organization too unwieldy. The practice is that as some events which have declined in popularity drop out of the games so those which command a sufficient public following replace them. At each Games a certain number of sports which are on the official competitive programme provide demonstrations and it seems to me that this has a two fold purpose. It serves to test public reaction to the sport which in turn can be a stepping stone to getting it included in the official list cf events at some future occasion. For a number of years there have been efforts to try and get Badminton included as an official Olympic sport and probably as a result it was staged as a "demonstration sport" at the 1972 Olympic Games. As to whether this will lead to official status or even be held as a demonstration sport again is something I do not know the answer to at this time. Bl. Handstamp struck in black on mail posted at the event in Munich, West Germany on 4th September, 1972. ASIAN GAMES — Political intrigue rather than outstanding sporting achievement has been the keynote of the Asian Games which came into existence in 1951 and have been staged at four-yearly intervals since 1954- The pattern was established at the inaugural games in New Delhi, when both Pakistan and China refused to compete because of the partici­ pation of India and Taiwan. Cl. Handstamp struck in purple at Bangkok, Thailand on 9th December, 1966 on first day covers posted at the games. The handstamp is in fact an official post office cachet which was used in conjunction with a special games postmark struck in black. (It is normal to find the games postmark cancelling the stamps and the cachet on a blank part of the envelope, but I have also seen covers where the converse applies.) C2. Official post office cachet struck in black at Bangkok, Thailand on official first day covers posted at the games. The 6th Asian Games were held from 9th to 20th December, 1970.

The first phase began with the founding of the International Badminton Federation in 1934 and 17 badminton associations before the Second World War. The second phase began after the War with the first Thomas Cup contest won by Malaya in 1949. From 1946 to 1979, Malaysia won the Cup 4 times and Indonesia, 7 times. In 1979 twenty-six countries competed for the Cup. The third phase began with China's membership into the IBF in 1981.

  • Sports India and World
    SPORTS INDIA AND WORLD World Cup Cricket History The idea of organising a World Cup of cricket was mooted and agreed to in principle in 1971 when such a proposal was discussed at a meeting of the International Cricket Conference in London. However, due to various commitments the tournaments could not be staged until 1975 when the original plan of a South African team's visit to England fell through following opposition to the country's racial policy. England's Prudential Assurance Company came forward with sponsorship and for three consecutive years - 1975, 1979 and 1983, the one-day limited overs cricket tournament was held in England. It became famous as the Prudential Cup. In the first two tournaments, apart from the six full members of the International Cricket Conference (England, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan), Sri Lanka, before being elevated to Test status in 1981, had joined East Africa in 1975 and Canada in 1979 (two top teams among the associate members) to complete the groups in the tournaments proper. The West Indies, under Clive Lloyd, not only won the first two tournaments in 1975 and 1979 but in true Calypso style they produced sparkling cricket and confirmed their unassailable supremacy in this game. India broke the West Indian stranglehold in 1983 to open a new chapter in the brief annals of this prestigious tournament.

  • Athletics, Badminton, Gymnastics, Judo, Swimming, Table Tennis, and Wrestling
    INDIVIDUAL GAMES 4 Games and sports are important parts of our lives. They are essential to enjoy overall health and well-being. Sports and games offer numerous advantages and are thus highly recommended for everyone irrespective of their age. Sports with individualistic approach characterised with graceful skills of players are individual sports. Do you like the idea of playing an individual sport and be responsible for your win or loss, success or failure? There are various sports that come under this category. This chapter will help you to enhance your knowledge about Athletics, Badminton, Gymnastics, Judo, Swimming, Table Tennis, and Wrestling. ATHLETICS Running, jumping and throwing are natural and universal forms of human physical expression. Track and field events are the improved versions of all these. These are among the oldest of all sporting competitions. Athletics consist of track and field events. In the track events, competitions of races of different distances are conducted. The different track and field events have their roots in ancient human history. History Ancient Olympic Games are the first recorded examples of organised track and field events. In 776 B.C., in Olympia, Greece, only one event was contested which was known as the stadion footrace. The scope of the games expanded in later years. Further it included running competitions, but the introduction of the Ancient Olympic pentathlon marked a step towards track and field as it is recognised today. There were five events in pentathlon namely—discus throw, long jump, javelin throw, the stadion foot race, and wrestling. 2021-22 Chap-4.indd 49 31-07-2020 15:26:11 50 Health and Physical Education - XI Track and field events were also present at the Pan- Activity 4.1 Athletics at the 1960 Summer Hellenic Games in Greece around 200 B.C.

After a week of acclimatization and training, our athletes are ready to put their best bowl forward and take on the top bowlers in the world. Week one will feature the women playing singles and fours, while the men play pairs and triples. Kelly McKerihen (Toronto, ON) will represent Canada in the singles and after months of showing great success on the greens in the Southern Hemisphere, McKerihen is ready to compete. The women’s fours team represents a powerhouse of international experience with Leanne Chinery (Victoria, BC), Shirley Fitzpatrick-Wong (Winnipeg, MB) and Jackie Foster (Lower Sackville, NS). Rookie lead Pricilla Westlake (Delta, BC) may be new to international team play at this level, but the team is looking to capitalize on her recent successes at the 2016 World Indoor Cup and North American Challenge. “Even though New Zealand is now my home, I will always be a proud Canadian. I consider it a great honour to be able to wear the Maple Leaf and represent Canada to the best of my abilities” stated Chinery. On the men’s side, Ryan Bester (Hanover, ON) and Steven Santana (North Vancouver, BC) will be a heavy favourite in the pairs. These two are looking to continue the momentum from their gold medal win at the 2015 Asia Pacific Championships.
