My country just won its first ever Olympic silver medal and it was in badminton singles. It's a sport and a tough one at that. Regards Thanks for defending badminton.

Horse riding is a workout! Badminton, just like every other Olympic sport, takes a lot of skill and practice. I definitely consider them athletes! :) I agree, Kristen. Horse riding is a workout!

Some of those guys serve the birdie at 200 miles per hour! That's crazy. People who have never competed in particular sports have no idea of the strength and skill it takes. I used to horseback ride. People would joke around that it was only exercise for the horse, but it really takes a lot of stregth and balance, especially jumping.

Oh, and synchronized swimming, but that's only for the ladies right now. ;) Pinyo, I'm excited about Blog Action day this year. I think it will be a good one. David, they should make them wear the NBA uniforms, circa 1982. :) Caveman, NASCAR takes a lot of talent... but I don't much care for it either. ;) Thanks for the comments all. :) PT, I’ve been practicing it for years.
