   Where can I see video of olympic badmint

   So the big scandal at the olympics right now is that 8 players in 4   
   teams (including China) were deliberately trying to lose their games in   
   order to rig the arrangements as to who would be playing who in the   
   final playoffs.   
      
   In order to lose, both teams were doing crazy things like batting the   
   birdie into the net or out of bounds.   
      
   I wanted to see some video of those crazy antics, but it seems that the   
   bigger scandal is that these video's are censored - I can't find anyone   
   posting these anywhere on the net.   
      
   Even the major networks covering this story are posting still images of   
   the games - something that doesn't really show how funny these botched   
   matches really look.   
      
   Here's an example:

   Are spectators prevented from using their cell-phones to take videos of   
   the events they're watching?
