🔹 Rise of Professional Leagues:

The BWF World Tour, launched in 2018 by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), replaced the Superseries format to create a more structured global league.

Events are now classified into levels (Super 1000, Super 750, etc.) based on prize money and ranking points.

This system increased global visibility, media coverage, and earnings for athletes.

🔹 Olympic Milestone:

Badminton debuted as an official sport at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.

Since then, five events are contested: Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles.

Its Olympic inclusion helped badminton gain recognition and funding across many countries.

🎥 Video Review System:

The Instant Review System was adopted in 2014 by BWF using Hawk-Eye technology, which is also used in tennis and cricket.

It captures multi-angle video to determine whether a shuttle lands in or out, helping eliminate incorrect line calls.

Players are allowed up to two challenges per game, promoting fairness.

🏸 Equipment Innovations:

Modern rackets are crafted from carbon fiber and graphite, making them lightweight but strong. This allows faster smashes and better control.

Shuttles used in pro matches are still made of feathers (goose/duck), but improved processing makes them more consistent. Synthetic options are being tested for durability.

Shoes, grips, and string technology have advanced to enhance speed, grip, and injury prevention.
