WHAT HAPPENED AT THE OLYMPICS

It's not enough for Chinese 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England athletes Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang to lose at Badminton.  Oh no, Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang were booed off the competition floor after it looked as if they were throwing the game in favor of South Korea on purpose.  While the South Koreans didn't appear to enjoy the advantage given to them by the Chinese, the Chinese Badminton Team members Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang wasn't even interested in putting up a serious fight against South Korea.  In the end Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang lost to South Korea Badminton players Jung Kyung-eun and Kim Ha-na  21-14, 21-11 before getting booed off stage.  Nobody was sure if Chinese Women's Badminton Team Members Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang made a gambling bet on the side and threw the game to score gambling dollars from a bookie.

The United States of America Women's Soccer Team didn't have to worry about being accused of throwing the game in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England.  The United States of America Women's Soccer Team defeated France's Women's Soccer Team 4-2 and defeated North Korea's Women's Soccer Team 1-0.  United States of America Women's Soccer Team member Hope Solo was overflowing with job regarding the contribution she made in helping the Americans defeat both France and North Korea in the quest for Olympic Gold Medals.
