True, but I am sure that Smith would prefer a win, as a loss tends to give that Gold medal performance a hollow feeling. And, why would he have not thrown the match in regulation and save energy if that was the plan? I agree fully that Smith is the better wrestler, but Reinoso matched up well against him and came in with a solid game plan.
Because at this point Smith was guaranteed a spot in the gold medal match as long as he didn't lose big to Reinoso. He had already teched the Russian that beat Reinoso. Reinoso on the other hand had to win in order to qualify for the bronze medal match.
