It’s been that way for awhile now. The real logic is to spread the medals out more between more countries. The UWW (international wrestling organization) and IOC (Olympics) like making more of their member countries happy by ensuring more places have a medal to take home. Since some countries dominate the top spots the double bronze helps a little in smoothing that around. It is also why they have a mostly blind draw (though they added a slight seeding criteria recently) for the chance that a few new countries find a path to at least the bronze medal match. Also this is likely why Greco will always stay, since it often has medal winners that come from countries that don’t traditionally medal in other Olympic sports or even freestlye. Spread the love a little and make your supporting nations happy enough to keep participating. Also the repechage to get to the 2 bronze medal matches isn’t a traditional “wrestle back”. Only those wrestlers who lost to the finalists are eligible for consolations. They basically move up a ladder system of who lost until they face the loser of the semi-final for the bronze. This happens on both sides of the bracket. The logic again is they often are less worried about awarding the medal to the overall top three as they are just happy the clear winner is found and that the other medals have more of a a chance of getting spread out between other nations.

C'mon Poppe, that last picture of Mason does not show his current hair style, or lack thereof.

Your opinions are weightless, and completely offensive. Unless this conversation can be “classed”, it’s completely unfair and biased towards larger schools coaching staffs.

Rumor has it there are going to be no more rankings. It hurts feelings.
