Fun Fact,

A gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics isn't actually worth its weight in the precious metal,it's mostly made of silver.Olympic Gold Medal's contain 1.2% gold.Silver medal's at this year's games are made entirely from their namesake,while the bronze medals are 95% copper and 5% zinc.

The gold medal is worth $800, the silver.medal is around $450 and the Bronze.medal is about $5.. Heck. They could at least add some small precious rocks in the middle of the bronze medal to make it worth at least $200

I'm trying to recall another dubs match where they were on the cusp of winning that TB at the end & allowed team to come all the way back to win!

Actually, in a majority of the super tie-breaker sets, the team that is leading at half-time ends up losing.

I really hate super tie-breakers. I don't think it will take too long a time to play another set (and they can have an ordinary tie-breaker in that, if needed).
