What is "badminton"?
Badminton is a fast-paced sport played with a shuttlecock and rackets. It can be played between two players or two teams of two players each. The objective is to hit the shuttlecock over a net and into the opponent's side of the court in such a way that they cannot return it. Points are scored when the shuttlecock lands in the opponent's court or they fail to return it properly. The game is typically played indoors on a rectangular court, and it requires agility, quick reflexes, and precise shot placement.
