Both losers get a bronze.

Oh there is not a fight for bronze, that's crap.

Bovidae

@crucial A very good performance. I assume he'll face the Russian no.1 as the 4th seed.

I donlt think the Olympics is the place for participation awards.

It might be the case with all the fighting sports? Is there 3/4 fights for judo, Taekwondo or karate?
