Just watched the men's 61kg final, Rashidov vs Bonne. At the end Rashidov won and I opened the Wikipedia page of this weight class (the first one I watched, so I wanted to check how the repechage system works before watching other weight classes) and there I saw Bonne won the gold  Which I then saw in the video as well after Rashidov's coach was sent off.

 

Anyone care to explain what happened there? Why did Bonne get an extra point and why was the coach sent off?

First gold for (should have been 2) but what a great problem to have for Canada. Who will represent the country in Tokyo in the 76 kg, defending Olympic champion Weibe or now bronze in 2017 and gold in 2018 (in the 72kg) Di Stasio?

I'm a bit lazy to watch the match again but I think that's because of a failed challenge from Russia. Bonne was winning it 5-5 so they made a desperate challenge

 completes the set today with Weibe's bronze!

I thought the Russian guy was winning at 5-5 (thinking about the last person to score a point getting the win)

 

So when your challenge fails, you get sent off?
