Question

Did you know? Badminton is the fastest racket sport by speed — a shuttlecock has been hit at up to 493 km/h (Mads Pieler Kolding, 2017). By peak speed it beats tennis (260 km/h) and even Formula 1 cars. The shuttlecock decelerates quickly due to air resistance, however.

Accepted Answer

Badminton is the fastest racket sport by speed — a shuttlecock has been hit at up to 493 km/h (Mads Pieler Kolding, 2017). By peak speed it beats tennis (260 km/h) and even Formula 1 cars. The shuttlecock decelerates quickly due to air resistance, however.

Badminton is qua snelheid de snelste racketsport ter wereld — een shuttlecock kan worden geslagen tot 493 km/u (Mads Pieler Kolding, 2017). Snelheidsgewijs verslaat het tennis (260 km/u) en zelfs Formule 1-auto's. De shuttlecock vertraagt echter snel door luchtweerstand.
