Badminton appears to have a new world record for the longest rally in competitive play after an epic 211-shot rally between Malaysian athletes Thinaah Muralitharan and Pearly Tan and Japan's Rena Miyaura and Ayako Sakuramoto.
The rally took place during the final set of their doubles match on Thursday, May 25 at the Malaysia Masters badminton tournament. Muralitharan and Tan had the lead at the moment the rally began, and it lasted for over three minutes straight.
