>gold is obtained from winning
>bronze is obtained from winning
>silver is obtained from losing
Doesn't make much sense does it
>>
Not if it is a racing event
>>
>>153538767
They shouldn't even award medals to 2nd and lower in races.
>>153538540
Loser's bracket winners should get silver.
>>
Gold = win+win
Silver = win+loss
Bronze = loss+win
KWAB = loss+loss
>>
>>153538852
Really there should be a silver medal match between the loser of gold and winner of what is now bronze
>>
>>153538852
is this loss?
>>
>>153538913
But you could only have that after gold is decided. No one would watch.
>>
>>153538956
So?
Don't televise it then
Fuck Budweiser and FanDuel

>hey you won gold but we have to wait until tomorrow for the mickey mouse match results
This is why they don't do it.
>>
>>153538970
Just give the gold winners their gold
Dont need to celebrate the lesser medals anyway

>>153538913
>team A beats team D
>team B beats team C

>team A beats team B
>team C beats team D

>what we really need is a match between team B and team C

Retard

>>153538980
multiplied across 20 different events and you've added another week except no one is watching it
>>
>>153538984
Silver is a loser medal
Why are we rewarding losers?
>>
>>153538996
Bronze is also a loser medal since only losers qualify for the bronze medal game
>>
>>153539018
>The idea of giving a medal to the runner‑up is a modern Olympic development, first seen in 1896
gay french as usual
>>
>>153539018
But they win the medal
They don't lose the medal
>>
>>153538540
true, if silver loses to gold they should have to fight bronze for final silver
>>
>>153538852
>KWAB = loss+loss
KEK!
>>
>>153538540
Silver medalists are the true winners because their medals are the most pure of the three awarded, where gold medals are faking their appearance and bronze medals are mere alloys.

As well as the top 3 getting medals, the top 8 in each event get a certificate, known as an Olympic Diploma

That's cute

>>153542649
You can buy gold foil on amazon to sprinkle onto food and shit gold. Now that's a waste.

Don’t even get me started on double elimination 8 seed tournaments
>lose first game
>best you can place is 5th
>win first game
>worst you can get is 4th
there is no reason a 1-2 4th place should be above a 2-1 5th place
