Badminton Players

The best badminton athletes in the world come from mainly China, only Lee Chong Wei from Malaysia, Denmark, Thailand, Taiwan and Spain. Many of the top badminton athletes come from Asia and this is because badminton is a sport that Asian countries focus on whereas Canada would focus on ice hockey and Ireland would focus on Rugby. Because badminton in Asia is so popular, there is a lot of support behind it.   But China dominates in badminton and one of the reasons behind this statement is because the badminton program's are supported by China's government, this means that the government takes care of their meals, housing and training.   China is also very good at badminton because they have such a large following of badminton players that they can choose from, roughly around 100 million of China's 1.3 billion population play badminton. What it takes to become a top badminton athlete are amazing tactical, technical, psychological and physical traits.
