Badminton is an Olympic sport? You're kidding, right?

Olympic badminton is not Grandpa's back yard game. More like Olympic table tennis. For us amateurs it would be a radio game. We could hear the shots going by but couldn't see them. Or maybe like trying to hit a Randy Johnson fastball.

They're losing badminton matches to get easier opponents later on? And ensure that the best people knock each other out of the running early on?

Boo-fucking-hoo.

Sounds like good strategy. and they're obviously amateurs, for a good pro could fix the game without getting caught.
