Badminton was given its name from the country house in Gloucestershire, England. In about 1870 took place the first demonstration of the game.

The court was rectangular (6.1 metres width and 13.4 metres lenght) and divided into halves by a net. The game was to strike a shuttlecock (made ​​of cork and feathers) with racquet.

The point was scored, if "shuttle" passed over a net and landed in the oponent's half of the court.

Today, badminton is the fastest Olympic racquet sport.
