The winner of #3 vs #4 gets to play for the gold only if they defeat the loser of #1 vs #2. Assuming #2 loses in Semi-Final #1 and that #3 wins in Semi-Final #2. Then #2 will play #3 to see who gets the bronze. The loser gets the bronze and the winner goes on to play for the Gold and is guaranteed nothing less than a silver medal. If #2 wins, they play #1 again for the Gold. Winner of the Gold Medal game gets the gold. The only way for #3 or #4 to play for the gold is if they defeat the loser of Semi-Final #1.
