There are very few seriously long lived sporting tournaments and one of those is in badminston. The original all England competition started way back in 1898 and still attracts the very best players on the world circuit. The most recent tournament definitely was a peak with the champions and players from the medal winning teams in the 2024 olympics. You cannot get much better than that, can you.
The national broadcasting station sometimes makes it their goal to highlight the less represented sports and badminton is sadly very unrepresentd – in relation to how popular it is amongst the general playing public. Being the only major super 1000 event in Europe, this latest spectacular competition hosted nearly 160 matches and attracted many iof the most successful medal winners.
Another way of enjoying this easy to enter sport would be to seek out unusual venues that host the game across the country. One such example is down in Dorset in an unused church. Yes, fantastic reuse of an unwanted space – taking out the pews and having the court installed was the best thing in the village. It’s still enormously popular today.
