BWF and the French Badminton Association co-delivered the badminton sports initiation activation at Porte de La Chapelle Arena during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n
The initiative inspired over 30,000 visitors to the venue to pick up a racket and try the sport across the 15 days of competition at both Games.<\/p>\n
This enabled spectators to try the sport in parallel with the opportunity to watch our top athletes performing at the highest level.<\/p>\n
The programme consisted of an AirBadminton court positioned directly after the main spectator entrance and two interactive booths inside the arena.<\/p>\n
These provided visitors with an opportunity to hit the AirShuttle and experience outdoor badminton, take memorable photos with Paris 2024 elements, and engage in a fun and dynamic games to test their reactions.<\/p>\n
The activities were designed to be inclusive, allowing people of all ages, genders, abilities, and disabilities to get involved.<\/p>\n
BWF President Poul-Erik Hoyer said: \u201cI was amazed to see so many people queuing up to pick up a racket and try badminton. Even in the rain.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s satisfying to know we had a lasting impact on the many visitors to our venue. It was clearly a great success and shows badminton remains relevant to many people.\u201d[vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”12833,12847,12834,12831,12832,12835,12836,12837,12838,12839,12840,12841,12842,12843,12844,12845,12846,12848″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
