Also, does America have an Olympic badminton team?
With stronger domestic competition, the United States will have its largest Olympic badminton team since the sport made its Olympic debut in 1992 after just three Americans qualified in 2012. The 2016 Games will also mark the first time the United States has been represented in all five badminton disciplines.
Similarly one may ask, did the US win the 2012 Olympics? Overall, the U.S. won an Olympics-high 46 golds, which was the country’s best performance in a non-boycotted Olympics since the poorly organized 1904 Games, where more than five-sixths of the competitors were Americans.
Secondly, what are the only 5 countries to win gold medals for badminton in the Olympics?
In the 2012 Summer Olympics, China became the first country to win all five disciplines’ gold medal in history, and as of 2020 the only to sweep all five in the same Games.
