Badminton chiefs look to the future of their sport.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Poul-Erik Hoyer, BWF president
"For the Rio Olympics, the most focus is that we are recognised in Rio. You know Rio and Brazil is not a badminton country. So we really need to create some kind of interests in our sport in order to make it at Rio as one of the sports that people like attending. I want to have audience in Rio, watching the game, and I want to have the full crowd that is very important and that's the ambition for us to achieve."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Poul-Erik Hoyer, BWF president
"You know in 2012 we had the situation in terms of the lady's doubles. I just urge about that is not going to happen again. If you wanted to be a recognised Olympic sport, we need to deal with what I would say fairness. We need to deal what I would say to make the best person win the match. That is crucial because that's the whole elements of doing sports - to make the best person win."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Anne Smillie, Badminton Scotland Chief Executive
"To be involved in one of these plays is not better where you display your sport and stage our chance to give all those thousands of children to have the opportunity to see the sports to be played at the highest level. And that will give them the inspiration to require to take up this clean game and ensure it is a truly a global sport. "
