Level 1 – BeginnerBadminton – an Olympic sport
Badminton is quite a new Olympic sport. The first competition was at the Barcelona Games in 1992. But it is a very old game. It comes from China originally. It is probably more than two thousand years old.
The modern sport is more recent. Its name comes from a big house in England: Badminton House. The first international competitions started in 1934.
