WHAT???!!! Sandbagging in the Olymics??!!

[SKUNKBOY]

Have you seen this yet? 4 Badmittion teams have been disqualified for throwing games (intentionally losing) to gain an advantage in the next round of play :yikes:. Sounds like sandbagging to me.

Anyway, they were caught and thrown out of the event. I think they got what they deserved...I hate sandbaggers :angry:. Maybe other disapplines in sports will follow suit :thumbup:.

Just thought I'd mention it.

• CLEAN but accused of doping after banner performance check
• MAKING insensitive/racial comments about other athletes check
• dumping matches check

Who says pool doesn't belong in the Olympics?

I like badminton, it's one of the fastest and least boring sports in the summer olympics IMO.

If "Dumping" were an Olympic event, pool would be a favorite to win gold.

Just watched the China-Korea match. It was pretty bad and quite obvious to the crowd:

The match starts at about the 55 minute mark. At 1:00 they both start just serving into the net and the Olympic official comes out at 1:04. The crowd was booing.

Physical violence against your opponent for being better than you.
