@@jeovecabalquinto, some Asian Americans did make it to the BWF. Every time I see the latter parts of BWF tournaments, the Americans didn't make it that far.
@@jeovecabalquinto, I forgot to mention that Asian Canadians also popularize badminton in North America. However, most Canadians are interested in ice hockey and basketball. One example of an Asian Canadian badminton player is Brian Yang. I saw him play in the finals on TV and he was so close to beating Anders Antonsen back in Jakarta last January. If he would've won that tournament, he would've made history for a Canadian to win in Indonesia.
@@CrystalClearWith8BE from the past Olympics, only Asian Americans can play badminton and the rest is nothing for them due to racism, but Sunisa Lee is a gymnast that won gold in Tokyo.
In South East Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore are powerhouses of badminton. I'm a Filipino and the Philippines does love badminton, but it's not a powerhouse of badminton because Filipinos are more interested in basketball and volleyball. I like badminton and I've been learning unique moves for 4 years, even though I'm 20. I wish to promote badminton in the Philippines and make it to the big leagues such as the BWF.
Also in Europe. But since a professional badminton player can't earn too much money and it is uncommon for players to get scholarships from college, it is not popular in the US. US sports are all about money.
@@trumplostlol3007, in Europe, Denmark is the biggest European powerhouse of badminton. Other countries that are also in badminton are Germany, France, and the UK.
@@henrichandrew, almost. I think an "n" placed between the "i" and the "t" would make the word sound better, as in "Canadinton", and in speech, it is the second "a" that gets accentuated. The "n" is already present in "badminton", so :)
they qualified due to the rules; 1 nation get a spot anyhow.. Americans have many athletes that is good at athleticism.. NBC... they won't win any MEDALS beside Participation only.. I didn't see them in S1000/S750/S500 tournaments in 2024 though..
They are ranked #32 out of 497 doubles teams in the world, including beating some Chinese teams. That is impressive. Imagine if they didn't take 4 years off.
2:25 says Bay badminton club in Milpitas. I found on Google map Bay badminton center at 1191 Montague Expy, Milpitas, CA 95035 The street number of the building (also at the very beginning of the video) is 1191. So that's likely where they practice.
Even before this video came out, I've been wanting to get into badminton, but unfortunately bills take priority over fun. Now I just gotta workout a way to get some badminton training around work.
@@justincoleman7856, I'm still into badminton, but I've been learning unique moves for 4 years, even though I'm 20. I have a badminton dream too. I wish to make it to the big leagues such as the BWF to help promote badminton in my country.
@@justincoleman7856, I also want to get into badminton. However, I want to make my way to become a pro player. I'm from the Philippines and I'm planning to tryout for a varsity for badminton and see if I can make it to the big leagues and improve myself and eventually, I wish to make it to the BWF and try to qualify for the Olympics in L.A. and Brisbane. Sadly, it's rare for a single Filipino to be in the BWF tournament since Filipinos are more interested in basketball and volleyball than badminton, but I have a dream to promote badminton in my country.
Not really. Badminton started in the UK and spread to its colonies all over the world. There are many Europeans who became world number 1 in badminton too.
@@user-km4lo8zz6z I think a certain level of difficulty is a big factor that dictates something as a sport. Without that, literally anything could be a sport. Also, not really a word for this, but the concept of how if all the athletes of a “sport” could easily be replaced by athletes of another sport, then it’s not a sport. What that means is that all badminton players could easily be replaced by tennis players if tennis players really wanted to. But badminton players couldn’t replace tennis players.
@@wbae1340 first of all you definitely never played badminton if you don’t think it’s hard and secondly what how many tennis players played the sport and actually was good at it?
