Dual Sport

What is Dual Sport

A dual sport is one that is played by only two competing persons, typically in a head-to-head format. These sports often emphasize individual skill, strategy, and coordination between the two players. Examples include tennis, badminton, table tennis, and squash. Dual sports can be played in various formats, including singles or doubles, but the term 'dual sport' generally refers to the one-on-one competition between two players.

What is Badminton

Badminton is a "racquet sport" played by either two opposing players or two opposing pairs, who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court that is divided by a net. Badminton is believed to have originated in India, where it was initially called "Poona" during the 17th century. It was introduced in a place called Badminton, hence it was named "The Game of Badminton," and became an Olympic sport in 1992.
