It was logical that four asian countries (Japan, Korea, Laos and Malaysia) should be the judo finalists, but I couldn’t learn the relative standings.

A reporter told me “Laos won silver, and/or Malaysia won bronze.” Other reporter added “Japan won gold, and/or Korea won bronze.” A third one added “Laos won gold, and/or Japan won silver.”

I couldn’t make heads or tails out of this, until I remembered that in judo, two bronze medals are awarded. Which were the standings?

(In reply to Solution with description by Rafal)

If Laos has Gold, this means that Japan don't have gold.
2nd reporter says that Japan has gold (False) or Korea has Bronze...

So Korea should have bronze and your answer is wrong.
