Golden again, US wins 1st Olympic title since '96

[NorthStar]

That was really, really bizarre. Throwing games so that they don't have to play in another town? #1 player in the world rushing home and quitting the game altogether with a million fans following him online?

-----The women Badminton Doubles. The two Chinese girls apologized today (China never do that!) publicly! And the top Chinese player in the world is quitting for good!

By the way, four teams (duos) tried to lose their games in order to play a lesser good team after (wrong tactic in Games where the rules are all about giving your best always).
It was awful, in front of the entire World! They've been disqualified! Eight girls total (those four teams)!
They all deserved it! And their coaches should also been banned for ever coaching again! ...As they instructed their team to do so!
This is a total disgrace and it goes to the exact opposite of what true sportsmanship is all about.

It's all over the news Amir, with all the details.
Google it: Badminton Women Doubles at 2012 Olympic Games in London.

P.S. Sorry about that Steve. ...Didn't truly feel to start a new thread just on that.
The Olympic Games will be over in no time, and might as well have them games in few threads anyway. But this is the USA women gymnastic team thread, and as such it is the main topic.
