00:00Sa paglulunsad ng Air Badminton sa bansa,
00:02isa sa inasam ng Philippine Badminton Association at Badminton Asia
00:07ay ang erobasyon na layuning palawakin
00:09yung accessibility ng bagong sports sa mga open spaces at komunidad.
00:14Ang detalye alamin natin sa ulit ni teammate JB Junio.
00:19Mula sa traditional indoor badminton,
00:21ipinakilala ng Philippine Badminton Association
00:24at sa tulong ng Badminton Asia,
00:27ang Air Badminton, ang outdoor version ng traditional badminton
00:31na nilalaro sa loob ng court na ngayon ay pwede na itong laruin kahit saan,
00:35sa beach o buhangi, sa parks o grass field,
00:38at sa cementado o outdoor hardcore.
00:41Kumpara sa nakasanayang badminton,
00:43mas malawak ang court measurement at layout nito
00:45na may dead zone sa harap ng net na may sukat na tig-2 meter
00:49sa parehong side ng court.
00:51Ito rin ay ginagamitan ng Air Shuttle
00:53na kayang lumipad sa bilis na 12 kilometers per hour
00:56habang regular rocket na may lower string tension
00:59na may thicker strings naman ang maaaring gamitin sa paglalaro nito.
01:04Sa naging panayam ng PTV Sports sa Senior Development Manager
01:07ng Badminton Asia na si Tana Arikishnan,
01:10ibinahagi niya na bagay na bagay sa mga kultura
01:13at ugali ng mga Pinoy ang makabagong outdoor sport na ito.
01:16Actually, we choose Philippines
01:19because the nature of the people,
01:22they are very fun and very casual people
01:24and I think this badminton outdoor
01:26will suit them so well
01:28because, you know, that speaks about them
01:30and their culture.
01:32They are easygoing and fun
01:34and this game, that's what it's all about.
01:36It's having fun outdoor.
01:37So it really fits well.
01:39The launch, I can see that it's going well
01:41and hopefully it will go to the best.
01:44Dagdag pa ni Arikishnan,
01:46layuni ng Philippine Badminton Association
01:48at ng Badminton Asia
01:50na mas maging accessible ito
01:52sa mas maraming atleta sa bansa.
01:55Yes, I will definitely say
01:58it's more accessible now
01:59and this, with this new invention of Shalcock,
02:04you can literally play anywhere.
02:06In field, in sand, in backdoor,
02:09in front of the house.
02:10So it's more fun and more accessible now than before.
02:14Dahil dito,
02:15mas marami ang magkakaroon ng pagkakataon
02:17na makapaglaro
02:18lalo na sa mga probinsya at komunidad
02:20na walang indoor court.
02:22Nais din ang BWF at Badminton Asia
02:24na dalhin ito sa mga paaralan,
02:26barangay at youth sports program
02:29para mas marami pang kabataan
02:30ang mahikayat sa badminton
02:32at makapagsimula sa murang edad.
02:34Higit sa isang bagong format,
02:36ang air badminton ay itinuturing
02:38na vehicle for inclusion
02:40pagbubukas ng pinto
02:41para sa mga bagong atleta
02:43na makalahok sa national
02:44at international competitions.
