A cousin of triathlon and decathlon Racketlon is the sport in which
you challenge your opponent in each of the four biggest racket sports;
table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis. Each year The Racketlon
World Tour is organised by the International
Racketlon Federation under a licensing
agreement with the trademark owners (a group of leading Racketlon
individuals featuring e.g. the original trademark owner Peter Landberg
of Stockholm, Sweden). The tour has been orgainised annually every
year since 2002.
For the period 2001 through 2008 Racketlon.com offers a unique
and fairly complete history of all significant events that took
place within international Racketlon. Scroll through the EVENTS
and NEWS sections and you will be able to follow the international
launch of a new sport. From day one! As of 2009, however, Racketlon.com
is mainly about the past. It aims to provide a record, which
is only updated occasionally, with the notable exception of some
sections that are still very much alive. See present
scope!
