Yup, she was quoted in many press as saying so. Of course opponents are strong if one serve into the net, smash into the net time & again, opponents had no opportunity to show much. The Korean chief coach was quoted too.Didn't Yu Yang said the opponents are going to be strong and they (CHN) wanted to conserve energy?
The matches were bad...!
I also saw the nbcolympics videos which they posted a video which shows about 2 minutes of all the mistakes during that KOR/CHN
Lin Dan said himself that it's damaging to the sport.

OMG, the Chinese Olympic Delegation condemns Yu/Wang!!! I don't believe it!!!

Will LYB be fired?
And now another breaking LATEST news...
Yu Yang: This will be my LAST badminton competition, goodbye my beloved chinese national team... wow, if that is true, then her last match is really a shame!
于洋:这也是我最后一次比赛了。再见国际羽联,再见我挚爱的羽毛球。

Yes, I did watch the game between Yu/Wang and KOR pair for a few minutes. Yes, I believe they did not try to win. All 4 of them. Yes, I was shaking my head, when I hear the boos.
This is exactly what the BWF's official saw and they were disqualified after investigation was done and are charged for 'not using one's best effort to win a match' and 'conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport'.
However, if you give ppl death penalty, you better give real evidence. What's the evidence now? They performed below the par? They have more serve errors, and more out?
That is how you chose to perceive it.Those people with authority see things differently. Btw, if they can't even serve properly and is so erratic than they shouldn't be in the Olympics after all. Does it make sense to you?
Well, answer me this. In WC 2003, on her way to champion, ZN give both Mia and CM a 11-0. Please do not tell me Mia and CM are that bad at the moment. So, why there's no penalty for Mia or CM, for "not trying their absolute best"? They probably already mentally and/or physcially gave up...
The scoreline doesn't mean anything. If ZN is on good form that day why not. If that counts then Zhao Jian Hua's, Yang Yang's and all those ex greats opponents that got thrashed would be all found as guilty. What counts is the motive. Do you see any relation to that in between ZN, Mia and CM? Its a very bad example you'd given to compare here.
From stats, you can surely say they should be much much better. However, in theory, everyone can have a bad day. You can not give a person a death penalty, simply because, "oh, we all get upset, you, me, him, her all believe that's not normal"....
Talking about statistics of all 4 pairs or any other pairs in that level, go take a look in any badminton videos available on youtube and make a comparison yourself. See if there is any match that even come close to what you saw yesterday. Even baddy players of the 70's with wood rackets don't play in such pathetic manner. While watching make sure you open your eyes wide enough.
Btw, good hard evidence is drug test result, instruction in writing, instruction in tape recording, etc.
Professionals don't leave evidences behind. Only dumb people do. Maybe those team officials did tried the lawyers wannabe but still got their appeal thrown out.
Btw, please do not just ignore my other examples of Jordyn Wieber (US gymnastics) and US basketball team. In theory, they all performed way below their own standard, so should they get banned as well? Hey, for US basketball, even the opponent coach "thanked" them in public for "not running up the score". Man, that's hard evidence....![]()
Pardon my ignorance. I really don't know them. As such I better not put any comments on them because it will make me look stupid if I talk a lot with long winding post but make little sense.
Again, I am not defending the players or coaches, they clearly contribute to the whole mess.
The problem I have is, IOC/BWF should take their share of the blame as well. As organizers, their system start the whole mess, and when the pic starts to look ugly, they try to act like god, and simply send the little guys (girls) to the chamber for the death penalty???
Plus, you still did not answer my question, how you justify the evidence. US basketball makes a lot of mistakes, such as easy turn overs, missed wide open dunks, un-usual high rate of fouls, etc. In addition, they rest their starters (e.g. Kobe played only 9 minutes in the game), and play the rookie (Davis) for 14 instead. So, please tell me why we not banning them for "'not using one's best effort to win a match' "???
Notice she never thanked her coaches. I can feel her venom towards LYB.
It was there in the second paragraph. The BWF after investigation found that.................
Its the authority and governing body that sets and regulate the R&R. They saw the 4 pairs clearly, obviously and severely violated one of the R&R and its within the authority rights to take proper action. Oth, teams can file for appeal but again its the decision of a panel of committees whether to reject the appeal or not.
Its them (the authority) who took action within a set of rules, regulate them and made the final decision. Not the other way round of saying to them that your proof TO ME is not solid enough.
