Perfectly fine strategy. If you introduce penalties for "not playing your hardest", that creates too much subjectivity as we have no standards on what "hardest" means. This is done in sports all the time. NFL teams that secure home field advantage for the playoffs put their second and third string players in the final games. World Cup teams that secure a spot in the elimination round will back off in the final game of group play to avoid wasting energy.

If the organizers don't like the behavior, don't have group play or round robin stages and use the single elimination format.

When you consider that the women's gymnastic all around excludes the best qualified athletes by limiting each country to only two qualifiers, what choice do athletes have but to game the system. Honesty, integrity, and sensible rules start at the top. The politicians don't adhere to that either.

The goal is to win the gold medal, not this particular match. The is a commonly strategy in sports. During the EUFA European Cup last month, there was a debate on whether Spain should have score the goal in the last few minutes of the group match to revive Italy. Even armies will retreat temporarily to secure a better position for battles.

This is totally unfair to the players. The organizer made up this stupid rules of ' win for a loss'. So the players would rather 'lose to win the interest'. The officials who made the game plan not making sense should be punished, not the players.

With all the top seeds removed, perhaps now Denmark or Australia may finally have a chance in this sport.

If the pair wins, they don't gain anything but they hurt their country's interests. Who made such stupid rules?
