Sic transit gloria mundi: Finland's at the top of the all-time rankings, but doesn't have a single medal so far in 2016 (although there's an unexpected one coming up in female boxing, as an essentially unknown boxer just beat the world champion and semifinalists are guaranteed at least a bronze).
- tomjakubowski 10y ago> semifinalists are guaranteed at least a bronze Huh. How does that work? Are the semi-finals a three person round robin, rather than a four-person bracket? Do they give out two bronze medals? edit: yes, two bronzes in fighting sports, because the minimum rest period between matches makes a "bronze medal match" difficult to schedule. source: https://www.quora.com/Why-are-there-2-bronze-medals-awarded-in-combat-sports https://www.quora.com/Why-are-there-2-bronze-medals-awarded-...
