直擊里約奧運：領獎臺之外的趣聞軼事

One or two bronzes?
一枚銅牌還是兩枚銅牌？

At the Rio Olympics, there are 812 gold medals to be won, 812 silver - but 864 bronze. How come?
里約奧運會上共有812枚金牌和812枚銀牌——但卻有864枚銅牌。這又是咋回事？

With some sports it's very simple. In doubles badminton, for instance, only one pair can win bronze, so the two semi-finalists face each other in a play-off to decide who gets it. In golf, a play-off is held in the event of a tie.
在某些運動中，這不難解釋。比如在羽毛球雙打比賽中，只有一對選手可以獲得銅牌，在半決賽中淘汰的組員二人需再比一輪，決出這枚銅牌花落誰家。而在高爾夫球場上，銅牌歸屬戰則會于比賽二人平局后的加賽中開展。

But in some events, such as boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling, there are two bronze medals. In some cases, a bronze goes to each eliminated semi-finalist. In others, there's what's called a repechage, where those knocked out by the eventual winners are placed in two separate pools, and compete among themselves for one of two bronzes.
但在如拳擊、柔道、跆拳道和摔跤等賽事中，每場比賽會頒發兩枚銅牌。某些情況下，半決賽中慘遭淘汰的選手會各獲一枚銅牌。而在另些場合，會加場“補充賽”，被冠軍逐出競賽場的選手們會被分到兩組，而在他們當中的補充賽將決出兩枚銅牌的獲得者。
