In addition it was one of the oldest games in the world. The Greeks played with shuttlecock 3000 years ago. The Japanese used shuttlecocks made of cherry pit and some feathers and wooden rackets. In 1873 Duke Bofourt returned home from India and brought an unusual play set as a souvenir from the colony. For several weeks in Badmintin officers demonstrated \"the game of Indian maharajas\" to the respectable audience. In that year the game received the name badminton. The first international badminton championship took place in 1899. Since 1992 badminton has become one of the Olympic sports.
