Fastest Thing, Think Fast

Fastest badminton smash. I do searching and digging internet to find and compare who has the fastest badminton smash ever. Who do you think? Fu Haifeng from China set for world's fastest badminton smash where he played on double event with his partner Cai Yun in Sudirman Cup, Indonesia on 3 June 2005. Fu Haifeng smash is 332 kph or 206 mph. While another record of fastest badminton racket hit in single event made by Taufik Hidayat from Indonesia with 305 kph or 189 mph. Why the gap between double and single record so wide? At high levels of play, doubles rallies are extremely fast. Men's doubles is the most aggressive form of badminton, with a high proportion of powerful jump smashes. Fastest badminton stroke is faster comparing to fastest tennis serve by Andy Roddick, even in same (single) event. 

China, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia and Denmark are among the nations that have consistently produced world-class players in the past few decades and dominated competitions on the international level, with China being the most dominant in recent years.

Fastest Man on No Legs. Known as the Blade Runner, Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius is the fastest man on no legs. Pistorius holds the world record of double amputee runner in 100, 200 and 400 events. This fastest man on no legs born on 22 November 1986 without bones in his both lower legs, and when he was 11 months old, his parents made decision to amputate his legs. They never thought he later sprint his way into the world record books. He runs with J-shaped carbon-fibre prosthetics called the "Cheetah Flex-Foot" manufactured by Icelandic company, Ossur.
