    Absolutely. It was embarassing to watch, and I'm happy that they threw all eight players out of the Olympics.
    It's the right call considering the dishonesty of trying to lose, but the Olympics asked for this with the format they used which encourages people to use strategy in the advancing rounds, and losing on purpose is strategic.

    By the way, can we talk about Yannick Agnel? Because if the Olympics were a movie, he would be the supervillain out-touching and chasing down our intrepid heroes.

    But, the thing is, he's the kind of cool and handsome-in-a-Matt-Smith-ian way that makes me want to be on his side of supervillainy. Like, I don't necessarily want our guys to lose, but if they do, I hope it's to that magnificent French bastard.

    Also, his name is Yannick. This cannot be overstated.
    ...and the milk's in me.
