It seems like Zwiebler is in the form of his life, won the european championship for the first time this year, too. | ||

It's about competition, and proving yourself to the fucking world. You just make yourself look like a fucking dumbass by doing this sort of thing. You also look like less of an athlete, and you're ruining the sport. Ban hammer well used. The Olympics is about motivating yourself to play your best in a match that you actually want to lose? I don't want to see a fake match as a spectator. We have WWE for that. At least when they're actively throwing I can switch to a different channel. The tournament setup is the main fault. | ||

Yes, play your best every time even if you see a loss being more beneficial. | ||

That's like saying swimmers and runners should go 100% on qualifying heats even if it hurts them because they're spent from wining the qualis instead of just taking third and then get 8th in the run/swim that decides the medals. Getting second in a qualifying heat (i.e. not winning it) is no different than losing qualifying group stage game. | ||

The tournament setup is the main fault. i don't get why people deliberately ignore the fact they broke explicit rules. doesn't matter what the reason is, you don't justify breaking rules and expect no repercussion on the grounds of a "shitty format" which were ironically decided on by the BWF which china, korea were all a part of. | ||
