Olympics 2012: BREAKING NEWS - Badminton Disqualifications

It's offical, the four womens doubles pairings who appeared to attempt to lose their matches last night have all been disqualified.

What this means now is unclear, we may go straight to the semi-finals with the four remaining pairs, or the 3rd places in each pool-group may now replace the disqualified pairs in the quarter-finals.

UPDATE: Apparently the next best pairs have all been promoted, those are pairs from Russia, Australia, Canada and South Africa.

A reminder of those banned pairings...

 
China's Wang and Yu and Korea's Jung and Kim both appeared to be trying to lose their match!

 
Korea's other pairing Ha and Kim, plus Indonesia's Polii and Jauhari were also not at their best!
