Over the years, badminton has cemented its status as one of the most popular spectator sports at the Summer Olympics. Ever since it was included as a medal event in 1992, the racquet sport has carved a niche for itself as one of the elite sports at the Olympics. And the Tokyo Olympics will be no different.

Over the course of the six editions post 1992, namely Atlanta in 1996, Sydney in 2000, Athens in 2004, Beijing in 2008, London in 2012, and Rio in 2016, badminton’s impact at the Olympics has only gotten stronger. The emergence of superstars like Lin Dan, Viktor Axelsen, Carolina Marin and PV Sindhu has brought in even more fans.

An overall 172 shuttlers across five categories, including men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles, will compete at the Tokyo Olympics this summer.
