Badminton: A great sport with a bizarre name.

    Walking down any street on a Spring or Summer's day, even when there's more than a whiff of a breeze on the air, you'd be best to keep your wits about you. This isn't a warning to watch out when crossing the road, or to ①steer clear of oncoming bicycles, but if you don't pay attention on your stroll you may discover a shuttlecock heading for your nose at lightning speed. Street games of badminton are common all over China and the sport is popular from the street right up to the top professional level. Badminton is the fastest racquet sport in the world, with shuttles reaching very high speeds. On June 3, 2005, Fu Haifeng of China ②set the unofficial record of 332 km/h.
