Bronze, silver, and 4th place

Is the 4th place designation for Italy official? If so, is it original or a latterday award by FIFA or IOC? If not official, is it a reconstruction by Wikipeditors or by one of our sources? And based on losing the semifinal repechage match, or based on the Final ranking by "points"? France was quarterfinal winner over Italy and semifinal loser to Czechoslovakia, thus a deserving 4th place, and Italy an astonishing one, if that is unofficial.

Beside noting the status of Italy's 4th place, we should try to explain why the actual silver/bronze rearrangement did not include France.

Was it the original design, if the gold medal winner had played four matches --originally, any one of the 14 teams other than the host Belgium-- that the four losers of those matches would play off for silver and bronze medals? Thus or otherwise, the gist of the Bergvall system should be explained here, not left entirely to that article. If the Bergvall system was "modified" originally, before Swiss dropout and Czechoslovak disqualification, then the linked Bergvall article will not be adequate anyway. --P64 (talk) 15:41, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
