Badminton is recognized as the second most played sport globally, with 220 million players. It is known for the fastest racquet sport, with recorded smashes over 400 km/h in matches and nearly 500 km/h in tests. Originating from China over two thousand years ago, the game evolved from a foot-based activity called T'jeu or T'Kian Tzeu.
