Hey! Ever play badminton?
1_Wizard
I did in high school once. Crazy to think it's an Olympic sport!

It is? oh wow I didn't even think that was possible haha, never thought of it as much of a sport
1_Wizard
Yeah, you should watch it on YouTube. I think they only play doubles in the Olympics, although badminton can be played as singles as well.

I'll definitely check up on that! Is it as entertaining as tennis?
1_Wizard
It's definitely quicker than tennis! Tennis is fast and hard, but badminton is played so quickly that the time between each side's strikes is less than a second!

Makes sense, I remember how aerodynamic the ball (?) in badminton is. What is that thing called again?
1_Wizard
Great question! It's called a shuttlecock, which is a ball with feathers attached to it to create drag.

That's such a strange word! I wonder where that came from
