If there's a sport where there's a binary path to the gold medal, the losing semifinalists either have a third-place playoff or are both awarded bronze medals. I believe wrestling has a third place bout, and hockey and football have third-place games, but tennis, badminton, table-tennis and boxing do not. -- Sumant Srivathsan http://sumants.blogspot.com
