Comment

Badminton officially entered the Olympic program in 1992, at the Barcelona Games, with men's and women's singles and doubles events. A mixed doubles event was added to the program at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.
Badminton is played indoors, between two players or two pairs. Players exchange a shuttlecock instead of a ball in matches played in two winning sets, with 21-point sets.
