It's bad sportsmanship because once you decide to sit down to play, you are committed to playing the full set and not leave the room in disgust! You are obviously entitled to forfeit due to a medical condition, but that was not the case.
Please note that Norway conceded after a session. That is completely different.

I fail to see why an appropriate concession is "bad sportsmanship" once the contest is out of reach in a one on one team match. Leaving a pairs game early is, of course, terribly inconsiderate to the other players.
