Hey, I'm more amused by the badminton.
In the last round of the pools, four teams in two games each wanted to lose to avoid playing their countrymen (or some formidable opponent) in the semi finals.
Tourney organisers decided if they wanted to avoid a certain game that much, fine, they can avoid all games from now on.
for throwing matches, bugger off. 8 players sent home.
Although it is poor sportsmanship on part of the players, it suggests poor design of the tournament structure that you can ever benefit by losing a game.
