    This is great but I am a bit confused - if they win the semi final they are guaranteed Silver with a Gold a possibility
    is there no bronze medal playoff in table tennis, ie both losing semi finalists get a bronze without a playoff?

    I've taken it to mean that getting to the semi-finals guarantees a bronze medal, Dave. Sue has been competing for years and I think it's a wonderful achievement.

    Oh I think it’s great. Isn’t it something like here 6th Paralympics? And I hope she goes on to the final. I’m just surprised that’s all. Most sports have a bronze playoff match or is it different between the olympics and Paralympics

    I honestly don't know, old mate. I've just taken Doug O'Kane at his word that getting to the semis guaranteed her & Megan a bronze medal.

    Don't both semi-final losing boxers get bronze medals?

    I don't know, mate, I don't know her personally. I've definitely seen her in Dodworth.
    At one time, I believed I knew everyone in the village at least by sight. :D

    I think that's because you don't want somebody who may have been knocked out having to compete again. Most other sports do have a third place match.
