All Ehgland Open-the History Of World Badminton

Who can translate words above into English?

 

i can understand about 10 characters

 

Wow Canada was 4th in 1899-1939 then dropped off the charts and came in at 12th in 1899-2003 ranking...lol wow. I would like to know what there talking about about the pictures though as i cant read the writting.

 

Me too, '1' to '10'.

 

I can understand just enough to cause more confusion if I tried to translate.. LOL!!! Plus I don't recognize a lot of the new short hand.. more of a traditionalist when it comes to writing mandarin and am really a bit sad with the new shorthand method.. thats change I guess..

 

I have more details of the AE based on the Guinness Book of Badminton.
1899. MS: No competition; LS: no competition; MD: D Oakes & SM Massey; LD: M Lucas & Graeme
1900. MS: SH Smith; LS: E Thomson; MD: HL Mellersh & FS Collier; LD M Lucas & Graeme.
It is a very long list. Perhaps it would be better to post only the years you are interested in. Just let me know.

 

Here is the first translation. Hopefully no mistake.

Using All England Open result to view the Global Development of Badminton​

Sport of Badminton has a long history. At the end of the 19th century, England already had official badminton competition. This is the famous All England Badminton Tournament.

Before 1940s, England was at the top of the World Badminton stage. Only at the end of the 1940s, Denmark began to challenge the title. Basically, European Badminton occupied the leading position in the world. After the Second World War, Asians began to challenge the European leading position.

At the beginning, All England Tournament was restricted to the English only. Later, the Tournament was opened to the rest of Great Britain. Then the Tournament was opened to the participants of the Commonwealth, rest of Europe, Americas, Asia, Oceanic and became an international competition.

After the establishment of the IBF, All England Tournament was continued and unofficially became the World Badminton Championship. All England Tournament retained such prestige until 1977 when the official World Championship was established.

The table below listed the result of All England Tournament from 1899 to 1939. England had established itself as the leader. Asian countries had not caught the eye of the European countries yet.

 

Good, very good! I think you must be a chinese (student?) in Canada.

 

I guess you can call me an ex-pat. Plus it helps me in keeping up with the shorthand as I was taught in the full character. The translation was one of three parts posted by Xu Zhen. More to come - just no time for now.
