The Drama never ends in the Olympics as after the record breaking performance in the pool on Day 4 the focus shifted to the badminton courts. It was not for a world record or even for medals as controversy struck the Badminton competition. Yes it is badminton that struck up the most controversy today not one of the most popular sports like gymnastics or swimming.
