Shuttle World WORLD SHUTTLJULY - SEPTEMBER 2015 / EDITION NO. 11 E ROYALLY GOOD! badminton recently received some royal publicity at one of the leading medical institutions in spain. During a visit to the Paraplegic hospital in Toledo, his Majesty King Felipe Vi took to the badminton courts with some of the patients as he tried out a number of sports which are used as part of the rehabilitation programmes. The Paraplegic hospital is the most important medical centre for the treatment of spinal injuries in spain and one of the most important in europe. Patients there practise badminton twice weekly, thanks to an arrangement with Castilla-la Mancha badminton Federation (the regional federation and a member of badminton spain) which provides trainers. The aim of these sessions is to increase the range of movement, both for patients who can stand and those who are wheelchair- bound like erik (pictured with King Felipe). Trainers have indicated that patients who practise badminton regularly improve their movement and upper-body coordination.

BADMINTON WORLD FEDERATION www.bwfbadminton.org PAGE 2 EDITORIAL Dear Colleagues and Friends Over the past few months, we have celebrated the successes of worthy winners in three different World Championships and have continued to see amazing talent emerge from across the global spectrum. In mid-August, the TOTAL BWF World Championships took centrestage in Jakarta, Indonesia and yet again China’s Chen Long and Carolina Marin of Spain stood tall in the singles categories. There was also an incredible repeat for Zhao Yunlei; the Chinese star retaining her Doubles double in the Women’s and Mixed disciplines, with partners, Tian Qing and Zhang Nan respectively. Finally, could even the most partisan fan deny what a fitting finale it was for our gracious hosts, Indonesia, to claim the last gold medal of the tournament – Men’s Doubles – on the eve of their 70th Independence Day anniversary? Poul-Erik Høyer BWF President Well done to Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan for sparking unbridled joy among their compatriots packed into the colourful Istora Senayan. It was an epic conclusion to an enthralling event! Then it was on to the BWF Para-Badminton World Championships in mid-September in the ‘home of para sports’, Stoke Mandeville, England. There we were shown that physical impairment is no deterrent to competitiveness, skill and the sheer will to win. These championships – the first since para-badminton’s historic inclusion in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games – underlined what a compelling sport it is, featuring very talented and courageous athletes. Congratulations to Rachel Choong of England and Korea’s Lee Sam Seop for competing brilliantly to win three golds each as well as to all their peers who also won medals and represented their respective countries proudly. As we in BWF continue our efforts to grow para-badminton globally, it was wonderful to see 223 athletes from 37 countries across four continental confederations playing, with each confederation winning at least one medal. These are positive signs for the future. That event was following by the increasingly-popular BWF World Senior Championships in Helsingborg, Sweden, where more than a thousand players converged to vie for age- group World titles, starting from +35 to +70 in the five traditional disciplines. Helsingborg Arena was an amazing sight to behold with action taking place on 14 courts in two halls. In some regards, it was a flashback to past top-flight tussles, with some well-known personalities battling for honours. The likes of two-time Men’s Doubles World champion Tony Gunawan (USA); former Indonesian international Flandy Limpele; former Men’s Singles World champions, Harijanto Arbi (Indonesia) and Peter Rasmussen (Denmark), were among those who enjoyed a memorable outing in Helsingborg. Meanwhile, at elite level, attention has reverted to the MetLife BWF World Superseries and the race is well and truly on for qualifying places in the season-ending Dubai World Superseries Finals. Following the Yonex Open Japan and Victor Korea Open in September, there are four tournaments remaining as the best in badminton seek a spot in the spectacular finale to 2015. Who will be there? Your guess is as good as mine!

  • 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.
