This is due to the very unique system of China badminton team. Individual player must scarifice their chances for the good of China team even if it is individual events. And who exactly will have a better chance against the opponent is entirely the discretion of the coaches.
In the case of Chen Hong WO, Bao will have the advantage of being fresh. The disadvantage, however, is he will have additional pressure to win the match for the "Team" and Chen Hong. This is because when Bao wins, Chen Hong will share 50% of Bao's price money.
China team can say whatever they want, for example, in the name of securing the win for the team. But the fact remains unchange, this is lousy sportmanship!!
since BWF wont do anything bout it, all others should train harder n eliminate chn players b4 they meet each other n fix a match.
Go the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Shame on China ...but the show must go on. Go INA, go MAS, go KOR, go DEN, go ENG.
Dear members,
If it is true match fixing, it should not be tolerate as it will set other countries to follow suit the same actions. At the end, badminton will be a match fixing sport like football. Next time, the players can sell game to other players or other countries as they knew that no action is taken against them. It is bad for badminton as it is most popular sport in the region and hope that the name won't be tarnish just because of this bad incident of walkover without any valid reason.
