Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Yanti & Salty RidiculoSnarky Almost Intelligent-Charming Manatees PART 4 - Full Asalzwed - 2012-08-02 1:31 AM bcraht - 2012-08-01 12:26 PM TriAya - 2012-08-01 10:15 AM bcraht - 2012-08-02 12:47 AM Badminton--Four teams DQ'd for throwing matches! Unreal. This is what I wrote about it in the Olympics thread: The four pairs have been expelled from these Olympic Games. I watched one of the games in question (Indonesia v S. Korea) and it was pretty bad. This is the first Olympics that has used the round-robin rather than knockout tournament play to determine advancement and draws. This has created situations where it's more favorable to lose than to win (for oneself and/or one's country) as well as matches in which it's predetermined that one or both sides are going to advance regardless of the outcome. It's a shame. This unfortunate outcome of the format, and the lousy play, and these women getting expelled from the Games. I don't know about China or South Korea, nor do I have privileged information about the specific Indonesian pair and this instance. But I can tell you, from personal knowledge of the way official sport works in Indonesia and other controversies, that I am pretty sure the Indonesian women did EXACTLY as they were TOLD to do, and would have had very little effective choice about it. Oh, I am sure that point is true. It's just such a shame for everyone, the Olympics and the sport. "In addition, if a player has at any time behaved in a manner severely damaging to the reputation of the sport, that player may be deemed by virtue of such behaviour to have engaged in conduct contrary to the integrity of the game of Badminton." Yanti...is this why you still aren't playing? Busted!!! You'd think badminton players would be all English and stiff and stuff (Allen? Froggy?), but there may have been some questionable post-tournament wild hot tub party activities. |

Well, the 15 year old timer source is here: http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2012/08/01/2012080101451.html and, what was my other point? Her sitting out there waiting on the decision? "Shin refused to accept the decision, and when the Korean team appealed, Shin had to remain on the piste in tears, as leaving would mean she had accepted it. After about an hour's deliberation, the decision was upheld. Shin, who had to play for bronze medal just a few minutes after she was escorted off the piste by FIE officials, was not in form, and lost to China's Sun Yujie 11-15. " So I guess it was an hour, not 45 minutes? Oooh but I gotcha, it was to send her to the final, not for a medal. Edited by Asalzwed 2012-08-01 12:52 PM |

Ok, so sorry about the 4 teams DQ'd, but it meant that Canada got in to the quarters and won. On to the semi's! And with names like Bruce and Li, how can they lose?? |

Fine. Coming clean. I will be, and really, have been, training to make the 2016 trials. It's official. and to be quite blatantly honest, my last marathon is not an indicator of where I am at. It was a sub-par performance. |

I ran at lunchtime, not fast but my initial thought of doing 4km soon increased to 6.25km coz I was having a ball out there. Sun is shining, it's cold but beautiful, could feel the tan starting. I loved it! Lots of like minded people out and about which makes it fun too. Just got to get my mind into the idea of the drainer tonight! Just 45mins while Artemis does her homework. More spellings! No poem this week. Good news re my lovely daughter - Teacher asked to speak to my husband after school, dread as expected! But no - have faith. She has been selected, the only one in her class, to go on a course, it's four mornings in September - for advanced and gifted children! I AM SO PROUD!!!!! Awesome stuff, all but the cramp! |

I was actually going to post in the Olympics crush thread but realized everything I had were american girls(mostly white) and I just didn't feel that was fully representative of my values Singapore you say??? My work might be sending me there in a few months. Double crossing my fingers now. By the way, my friend declined the job in Thailand so my potential visit is delayed. You have more time to prep for hurricane-Salty. |
