Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock oncebefore it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor.
The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from the balls used in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher topspeed, when compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is played indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game.
Since 1992, badminton has been an Olympic sportwith five events: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles, in which each pairconsists of a man and a woman. At high levels of play, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed and precision. It is also a technical sport, requiring good motor coordination and the development of sophisticated racquet movements.

Atletismo
El atletismo, (en griego αθλος [athlos], «lucha»), es un deporte que contiene un conjunto de disciplinas agrupadas en carreras, saltos, lanzamientos, pruebas combinadas y marcha. Es el arte de superar el rendimiento de losadversarios en velocidad o en resistencia, en distancia o en altura.
El número de pruebas, ya sea individuales o en equipo, ha variado con el tiempo y las mentalidades. El atletismo es uno de los pocos deportes practicado universalmente, ya sea en el mundo aficionado o en muchas competiciones a todos los niveles. La simplicidad y los pocos medios necesarios para su práctica explican en parteeste éxito.
Los primeros vestigios de las competencias atléticas se remontan a las civilizaciones antiguas. La disciplina fue desarrollándose a lo largo de los siglos, desde las primeras pruebas hasta su reglamentación.
El calendario está dominado por cuatro tipos de eventos: reuniones, reuniones entre clubes, campeonatos nacionales y los principales eventos internacionales. Los Juegos Olímpicos...
