Until the London Olympics, there used to be a bout between the losing semi-finalists to decide the bronze medal. The change in rule was introduced from the Helsinki Olympics. Judo , taekwondo and wrestling use the repechage system to give bronze medals.

Some systems choose to assign different weights. So it might be or for gold, silver, and bronze respectively. The next major type of ranking system takes into account demographic variables.

Since some countries are smaller, they send less athletes which usually leads to less medals. To deal with this difference, some people will determine the rankings by dividing a country's medal total by the country's population size or GDP.
