You actually might miss something if you blink during a badminton match. It’s one of the fastest sports in the world and can be played just about anywhere. In a recent Premier Badminton Match between the Chennai Smashers and Delhi Acers, Danish badminton player Mads Pieler Kolding set a new world record for the fastest smash ever.
He smashed the shuttlecock at an incredible speed of a 265 mph, which converts to roughly 426 km/h.
That’s just absolutely ridiculous. It’s even crazier when they break it down and show that his opponents only had 0.28 seconds to react to the smash.
If Kolding looks familiar to you, it’s probably because you recognize him from one of the most insane badminton rallies of all-time.
