In short, 4 teams tried to lose on purpose to avoid the Chinese in the next round.

Have to agree with this.
They won't of course.
(Isn't it normally just a straight knock-out rather than groups?)

All 3 nations should be kicked out of the Olympics.
Especially the Chinese - this typifies their attitude towards competitive sports in general - win at any cost.
Complete disgrace.

BTW - shouldn't this be 'Budgie-Baiting Shambles' or 'Cock-Whacking Shambles'?
Better names for Olympic events

the only acceptable response is to disqualify all 4 pairings from the competion but the authorities won't be that brave

Kick them out and let the teams who want to give the Chinese a go the opportunity against the best!

This... shocking display. Good job there were lots of empty seats so none of the "Olympic Family" had to sit through this farce!
Good.
I do hope so. But it was pretty stupid to organise it to that this was likely to happen.
