Final means interesting?

So far Olympic matches that I have watched is always at the semi and finals. At these matches, people usually have the thought that it will be a great one, the more exciting one or more interesting one. But it really depends. This is because in matches that deals with medals and titles, some players will be more tactical and perhaps more conservative in their techniques. Both players are fast and no one is willing to let the opponent score. Once they scored, some will usually hold on to their point as well.
