Who is a "badminton player"?
A badminton player is someone who participates in the sport of badminton, a game where players use rackets to hit a shuttlecock back and forth over a net. The sport can be played in singles or doubles. The objective is to score points by making the shuttlecock land in the opponent’s side of the court while preventing it from touching the ground on their own side. Badminton players need speed, agility, and strong reflexes, as the shuttlecock can travel very quickly. It is a popular sport for both casual play and competitive tournaments.
