Does a > particular discipline hand out multiple bronze medals? Yeah, Boxing does. If one enters semis in Boxing he can win a medal of any hue depending on his performance in semis. Those losing in semis get bronzes whereas finals decides the gold and silver. There must be other such disciplines too. -- B http://colono.livejournal.com
