Why is badminton an olympic sport?

Answer 1

one Chinese national player qualified to the olympic games before the proclamation of mainland china in 1949. Chairman Mao made a remark that all Chinese people can also be successful in top level sports event as the Olympics as with this player. from that moment, Table Tennis became a role model for the nation and it is still regarded as the national ball sport of the nation until now.

Actually table tennis did not become an olympic sport until 1988 so this answer is clearly incorrect.

The far more likely reason is because table tennis was a very practical sport in a country with such huge poplulation density.

Chairman Mao was a player and encouraged Chinese to play the sport.

When they first competed in the World Championships in the 1960s they dominated...defeating the reigning Japanese world champions.

With this success the popularity of the sport exploded and it soon became their national sport
