Badminton is well known in Europe and played
But the asians dominate , in last 4 olympics , asians won 18 gold medals out of 20 and europeans have won only 2.

Badminton is huge in SE Asia
Merry Christmas to MrBeast
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.
@@CrystalClearWith8BE merry Christmas
Looking forward to seeing them in Paris.
Cool! Representing California!
Badminton sounds like a Canadian city :)
I think they have a bit of an intimidation factor that will play to their advantage. Like when the boy comes around the corner in The Shining.
agree regarding promoting the sport in the USA becos USA is NOT the power house when it comes to badminton.
When it comes to sports, Americans are more interested in baseball, football, and of course, basketball.
Badminton popularized by the Americans of Asian descent.
@@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.
niice story, thanks
I hope you can train with Tony Gunawan, olympic gold medalist which now stay in US
The are gonna be like the Bryan twin brothers of Badminton
I practice in that gym 😮!!!
Can anyone tell us where they practice, in CA?
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.

Are you trying to be a creep?
@@jshawney3355 merry Christmas king.
@@Fox99787 what do you mean?
How could ppl tell them apart lol
Omg
This cheating.. They can read each others minds
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.
Holy crap. Deinterlace your footage.
Still qualify after 4 years off? Shows how bad the us team is.
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.
@@user-ll9qk2el4d see their record; smaller tournaments they win or second (S500/S750/S1000 is all first round) XD
It is far easier for people from the americas to qualify, there are continental spaces
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..
@@RoyLimisAw3s0me so what, the fact that they are capable to participate in Olympic is already impressive, and winning is not everything.
They are not good enough
An Asian sport!
Football is an American sport. Soccer is an European sport. Your point?
@@user-ll9qk2el4dyour sister is a black sport
@@Kodsbahyou are so smart
Identical twin sisters .... i am Satan ...
Sorry but can’t take this seriously as a sport lol
Sorry but I wonder who takes YOU seriously lol
@@dxuhuang lol plenty of people, work in healthcare. Sorry but not a sport, it’s just for people who can’t play tennis
What constitutes a sport and how does this fail to meet that criteria
@@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?
They don't look that much alike.
They don't look american.
Almost every american is an immigrant somewhere down the line
