Exclusive Summary About Badminton in Indonesia by Brahmanto Anindito
Indonesian badminton athletes today are more often likely to shout for celebrating any point gained, as the coaches told them to relieve the emotion, and "terrorize" their opponents. Indonesia has:
Five medals from Barcelona 1992. Two golds (Susi Susanti/female single and Alan Budikusuma/male single), 2 silvers (Ardy Bernardus Wiranata/male single and Eddy Hartono-Rudy Gunawan/male double), and 1 bronze (Hermawan Susanto/male single).
Four medals from Atlanta 1996. One gold (Ricky Subagja-Rexy Mainaky/male double), 1 silver (Mia Audina/female single), and 2 bronzes (Susi Susanti/female single and Denny Kantono-Antonius Iriantho/male double).
Three medals from Sydney 2000. One gold (Tony Gunawan-Candra Wijaya/male double) and 2 silvers (Hendrawan/male single and Tri Kusharyanto-Minarti Timur/mix double).
Three medals from Athena 2004. One gold (Taufik Hidayat/male single) and 2 bronzes (Sony Dwi Kuncoro/male single and Eng Hian-Flandy Limpele/male double).
Three medals from Beijing 2008. One gold (Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan/male double), 1 silver (Nova Widianto-Lilyana Natsir/mix double), and 1 bronze (Maria Kristin/female single).
Something you can hardly find in spectacle of tennis, table tennis, beach volley game, or even badminton when it does not involve Indonesia team.
You know, the supporters never yell sporadically.
It seems like Indonesian supporter were the only mob who systematically plan everything to support their badminton players. I just hope Indonesian militancy and "heroism" badminton culture won't lessen.
Exclusive Summary About Badminton by Rosalinda Martinez
Badminton is back! Badminton ignores the generation and gender gaps, making it an ideal sport indeed. Badminton strengthens muscles and increases stamina. It's a very fast game. The shuttlecock is not allowed to touch the ground unlike tennis.
In badminton, there is no time to delay the game. An hour playing badminton burns approximately 700 calories. Water helps to replenish during the game, and some sport drinks, too.
Badminton improves sleep patterns, cures bone problems, and helps overcome stress.
