So basically.
Gold: WWWW
Silver: WWWL
Bronze: WWLW
Bronze: LWWW or WLWW

The difference is that Bronze 1's loss is to someone who's already won two matches, and that person's second win was also against someone who won their first match. Everyone in Bronze 2's side of the bracket either lost in the first round or the second round.
At the very least, instead of having two bronze medallists, you can have them fight another match to decide who gets it. I really don't like having some sports award four medals while other only award three.
