Syracuse, NY: Racquet fans prepare this coming Saturday night to watch  
the fastest racquet sport action in the world. Badminton is the  
fastest racquet sport with shuttles reaching speeds of up to 206 mph,  
faster than the speed of the Eurostar train, and unlike a tennis ball  
hitting the ground, the shuttle never does!

Thanks to the title sponsors Yonex Corporation, which is providing the  
$50,000 prize purse, and Orange County Badminton Club as well as the  
presenting sponsor K & D Graphics, the Badminton US Open will have one  
of the best showing of athletes it has ever seen on USA soil. This  
year the US Open is drawing 12 of the top-20 world ranking athletes  
and our very own, 2005 US Men's Doubles World Championships Gold  
medalist, Tony Gunawan and Howard Bach. If you like Tennis you will be  
amazed at the excitement and rallies of Badminton - watch it and feel  
the intensity! The US Open free web cast is this Saturday night,  
September 01, 2007 at 6pm PST (9pm EST) on www.livesportsvideo.com -  
sponsored by Yonex.

Just as a stadium fills up with fans, so may this live web cast event.  
Be first to grab a seat in this Badminton cyber arena - as people  
leave their seat another one will open.

The US Open will have 32 competing countries: Australia, Austria,  
Brazil, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Croatia, Czech Republic, England,  
France, Germany, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Laos,
