Depending on the sport sometimes a bronze is a win and a silver is a loss. With some sports, if it’s a one on one thing, there’s a game that’s basically “if you win it’s a bronze, if you lose it’s fourth place” and then the next game (with different team obviously) is “if you win it’s a gold, if you lose it’s a silver”. So if you get a bronze, you won, if you get a silver, you lose.
Great point, although there’s also the third option where silver goes to the winner of the losers’ bracket (so, they only lost one game, and it wasn’t the last one). I’m pretty sure they don’t do that in the Olympics, though.

That’s very true as well, I think all team sports are like this.
