| On a uplifting note, Gade leading Son 1-0 with fantastic positioning, despite his age |

| It blows my mind that a tournament at the Olympics could be configured so poorly. I would expect this at my local rec center, but at the premiere sporting event in the world? |

Too bad the youtube coverage insisted on showing the womens doubles between the russians and south africans.
Would have loved to see uncle Gade in action |

I have my own VPN with servers in UK, but I prefer the quality of the youtube stream in terms of video as well as commentary.
Luckily they have a nice mens singles match starting, Chen Jin looking to win this one. |

It's not spirit, it's an oath taken at the olympic ceremony for all athletes to adhere to fairplay and sportsmanship during the Games. Whether the bracket itself was at fault is completely irrelevant as they broke the oath taken, an oath which emphasises the key principles of the Games.
Rubbish.
That oath says nothing at all about the sort of situation we're talking about here, mostly because it says nearly nothing at all
Words like 'Sportsmanship' and 'fair play' and 'glory' and 'honour' are vague enough to mean almost anything the speaker or hearer wants them to mean.(The oath is only clear on the subject of drugs, which isn't relevant here). I don't think it's unsportsmanlike or unfair to attempt to make a good faith effort to win a badly-designed tournament, even if it's by using ugly methods like this. Nobody with any sense thinks that these badminton players would be making a good faith effort to win games when it actively hurt their chances at an Olympic medal.
You guys seem to think these athletes ought to be bullied into either being lying hypocrites or into actively trying hard to lose the tournament they're ostensibly trying to win., in the name of 'sportsmanship' or 'fair play'. It makes no sense.Last edit: 2012-08-02 01:54:38 |
