Very surprising indeed, but it seems this has been their plan from the beginning, they even have this time frame in their official schedule. Maybe they did this to adjust to certain markets...

Yeah but those schedules were just...odd. Having the bronze medal match after the final means really nobody gives a flying fuck anymore (maybe outside some people in the two countries) instead of only a few people Weird request as well, I get USA wants the final at their best possible time, but that shouldn't be much of a problem while still having the bronze medal match before it.
