Hey! Ever play badminton?
I did in high school once. Crazy to think it's an Olympic sport!
It is? oh wow I didn't even think that was possible haha, never thought of it as much of a sport
Yeah, you should watch it on YouTube. I think they only play doubles in the Olympics, although badminton can be played as singles as well.
I'll definitely check up on that! Is it as entertaining as tennis?
It's definitely quicker than tennis! Tennis is fast and hard, but badminton is played so quickly that the time between each side's strikes is less than a second!
Makes sense, I remember how aerodynamic the ball (?) in badminton is. What is that thing called again?
Great question! It's called a shuttlecock, which is a ball with feathers attached to it to create drag.
That's such a strange word! I wonder where that came from
