The Olympic women's badminton tournament descended into farce last night as four pairs all appeared to try to lose their matches.
A pair from China, two from South Korea and another from Indonesia all attempted to throw their games in order to secure a favorable draw in the next round.
There were boos from the at Wembley Arena crowd as the world class athletes repeatedly put serves into the net and failed to return simple shots on an embarrassing evening for the sport.
The Badminton World Federation has now launched disciplinary proceedings.
