Let's use a curling example, for familiarity. Let's say there were 2 curling teams from each country. Do you think Kevin Martin would throw rocks through the house to ensure that he doesn't meet Glenn Howard hoping that both Canada #1 and Canada #2 make the podium? I doubt it, Martin would want to knock Howard out as fast as possible.

I won't say it's an CHINESE thing but it was obviously the wrong thing to do to try and manipulate the competition.
