Nyika into the SF so guaranteed a medal.

How does that work? He could come 4th?

Both losers get a bronze.

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

It's compensation for getting beaten up and losing. Always been the way

But then again it's got ribbon dancing so what the fuck do I know?

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

@canefan thats how TR Jnrs old TKD instructor described the Olympic version!!

[canefan]

Venus and Daniell are neck and neck with the Yanks in the bronze match. With serve in the first set

[canefan]

The boys have consolidated a mini break in the first set tie break, 3-1 NZ

[canefan]

Kiwis take the first set! 💪

[canefan]

NZ holds serve and now break the Americans again to lead the second 2-0

[canefan]

Venus and Daniell fend off break points to lead 4-1 in the second 👏

[canefan]

This is gripping. First chance of a tennis medal since Wilding in 1912

[Stargazer]

Match point!

[canefan]

Nz win the bronze!

[Stargazer]

YES!! Bronze medal for Daniell and Venus! Awesomeness!

[TeWaio]
