Heck have you guys ever seen professional badminton? The shuttlecock can get up to over 100mph and at times to 200 mph. I doubt many of us could even track much less return a hit from a professional.Basically instead of single elimination the Olympic games decided that a round robin bracket. In this case it became much more beneficial to throw the game in order to avoid playing the number one ranked team. It's was a strategy. As for the comment on fencing you realize that the rules for fencing note that in order to protest they cannot leave the stage? And this was after a very questionable second was added to the clock that arguable cost her the gold?Guys, at least make an attempt to understand what's going on rather than just reading the headlines.</blockquote>
