Does anyone know what's up with awarding two bronze medals at every weight? I'm not sure I'm a big fan of how they're doing things this year.

If they want to award more medals, they should add more weight classes. If boxing can have 11, then wrestling should too.

Boxing weight classes, Beijing 2008 (11):
106, 112, 119, 126, 132, 141, 152, 165, 179, 201, UNL
Wrestling weight classes, Beijing 2008 (7):
121, 132, 145.5, 163, 185, 211.5, 264.5
Judo weight classes, Beijing 2008 (7):
132, 145, 161, 178, 198, 220, UNL
Weightlifting weight classes, Beijing 2008 (8):
123, 137, 152, 170, 187, 207, 231, UNL
For years, wrestling had 10. In Sydney (2000) they dropped it to 8, and now there's just 7. It would be nice if they bumped at least freestyle back up to 10.
Wrestling weight classes, Atlanta 1996 (10):
105.5, 114.5, 125.5, 136.5, 149.5, 163, 180.5, 198, 220, 286
