Judo

The wrestler who won in all the bouts of the group went to the semifinals, where he met with a wrestler from another group, who reached the semifinals according to the results of “consolatory” bouts. In the "consoling" fights, there were those fighters who lost to the group winner: so, the loser wrestler "B" in the first fight, wrestler "A", in the second fight (provided that the wrestler "A" won the second fight) “A”, and if he won, he continued to participate in the tournament until fighter “A” lost, and if fighter “A” reached the semifinal, then fighter “B” also reached the semifinal. Thus, the possibility that strong fighters were eliminated in the first bouts was excluded.
