The sport played with a racquet and a shuttlecock is badminton. This fast-paced game involves players or pairs striking a shuttlecock over a net, aiming to score points by landing it in the opponent's court. Badminton requires agility, quick reflexes, and strategic positioning, making it both a competitive and recreational sport. Originating in England in the 19th century, it has evolved into a prominent sport worldwide, especially popular in Asia, where it is played at a professional level.
