OT: Badminton Anyone?

[partypup]

Scaredy, I grew up watching my father play badminton – he was on a team and my mom and I went to “support” him every week. It definitely kept him in great shape! I think it’s a fabulous sport. And you have definitely gotten me thinking. We’re moving to a farm-let (just 1.3 acres) later this month, and I think a badminton set would be an excellent activity for my family, and we will ahve lots of space to play it.

my little one was flicking the lightweight racket around deftly and was actually doing as well as his older brothers, which was startling and great. the net we bought is simple to put up and down (esp. w/ the dirt so soft from rain, but even so, it’s just 4 stakes).

Badminton is a very physical sport… The US Badminton Olympics team is unfortunately being outsourced (just like my job) to the Southeast Asian countries. Here is the list of the US players which won a major tournament last time:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Bach

here is the list of all US Badminton players (mostly foreign born):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_badminton_players

The training system and competition and in those countries is just very intense and the Top Badminton Players have status of the soccer star in Europe or NFL football player in the US. Thus most their best athletes choose to play Badminton.
