Indonesian Badminton Team’m doing my report on the Indonesian Badminton team who were disqualified from Olympics for throwing matches. I think they had a poor example of fair play.
I think they had a poor example of fair play because they were throwing matches in order to receive a more favorable placing in the playoffs. The Badminton World Federation investigated the doubles players from Indonesia, finding them guilty of not playing their best to win a match.
The Indonesian’s were booed by spectators as they repeatedly hit shots wide or served into the net. The referee, Thorsten Berg, warned the players over their conduct. In round one they lost heavily against South Korea. There were no rallies of more than four shots in the match.
Before the charges were laid, the former Olympic silver medalist Nathan Robertson of Great Britain urged badminton chiefs to take action against matches being thrown after the furor at the London Games.
South Korea head coach Sung Han-kook said two of his pairings had attempted to throw their matches against the Indonesian team but failed to do so.
In conclusion I think that match throwing is cheating and that people should not do it I think you should just try your best and never give up.
