A one-armed man has beaten me in a Badminton match. In fact, not only had he got no right arm but also, interestingly, no right shoulder. From the right side of his neck, his body just kind of tapered down to his waist. This was, however, absolutely no impediment to his decisive victory.
The only time it was possible to get a point was when he had to coordinate throwing the shuttle up into the air using the hand that was already holding the racquet, then serve it.
Probably it would have been courteous to let him try again. But to hell with that, frankly.
