One of the things I like about China the most is the fact that almost everyone has a badminton racket, and you will easily find someone to play with almost anywhere.<\/p>\n

Chinese universities hold badminton courts; stationery stores sell shuttlecocks; and if you wish to engage in some physical exercises, chances are that one of your Chinese friends will willingly join you in a badminton session.<\/p>\n

Can you play badminton? = \u4f60\u4f1a\u4e0d\u4f1a\u6253\u7fbd\u6bdb\u7403\uff1fN\u01d0 hu\u00ec b\u00f9 hu\u00ec d\u01ce y\u01d4m\u00e1oqi\u00fa?<\/p>\n

\u7fbd\u6bdb\u7403is played indoor on a rectangular \u7fbd\u6bdb\u7403\u573a, with a \u7fbd\u6bdb\u7403\u7f51 placed in its center. But \u7fbd\u6bdb\u7403 can also be played outside. If it\u2019s not rainy or windy you and your partner can find a relatively flat ground and just start hit the shuttlecock. The racket and the shuttlecock are light, and the net is not necessary if you are playing for fun. Roaming around Chinese schools and universities, you will probably see couples of students \u6253\u7fbd\u6bdb\u7403 that way.<\/p>\n

Modern badminton was born in England.<\/p>\n

Modern badminton was born in England in the 19th<\/sup> century, but games employing shuttlecocks have been played for centuries across\u00a0Europe and Asia. Although versions of shuttlecock had been played in the middle kingdom much earlier, China (or any other Asian country) wasn\u2019t one of the founding members of the International Badminton Federation. Nowadays, though, Asian nations have become dominant in the international competition of \u7fbd\u6bdb\u7403.\u00a0In the past few decades, China became the great force on the badminton field.<\/p>\n

Badminton was listed as an official competition in the 1992 Olympics games.<\/p>\n

Badminton became an official medal sport\u00a0starting at the\u00a01992 Summer Olympics<\/a>. In the last Olympic badminton tournaments in 2016, China sent 15 badminton athletes to participate. More than any other country who played on the badminton court. China was the only country to win 2 gold medals in badminton that Olympics. 2016 wasn\u2019t an exception for China: the country gained the most gold medals in badminton in the four preceding Olympics games. The Chinese team achieved the highest number of gold medals in badminton in five Olympics games out of the seven held since 1992.<\/p>\n

One of the Chinese gold medalists of 2016 was Chen Long (\u8c0c\u9f99). Chen began to compete professionally in 2007, but won his first Olympic gold medal in the men\u2019s singles badminton tournament only nine years later. When realizing he won, Chen wasn\u2019t able to hide his excitement:<\/p>\n
