Vojthas 947 Posted April 14, 2020 #711 Share Posted April 14, 2020 OK, but can someone explain to me, why in combat sports there are two bronze medals given away? I know it comes from boxing, where as it was said earlier, losers are too injured (although I don't think that's the point anymore - I think there is very few knockouts now and the qualification system was created so that there would be box-off for the fifth/sixth place so...). But judo, wrestling, taekwondo... they're not that brutal so that they cannot fight anymore, so why not to do the classic 3rd place bout between semifinal losers?

LSF2 - winner is Bronze Medalist WR2 v. LSF1 - winner is Bronze Medalist For those with a decent seeding system, yes. In so far two bronze medals are even necessary at all.

Really all combat sports, minus Boxing, should have tournaments like this: Pool Round, Eliminations, Repechage (one bronze medal). “Sport has the power to change the world.

It’s a long-term rule in boxing that you can’t fight for.....I think 21 days....after any defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
