The final stages of the tournament decended into farce. Belgium won the gold medal by default after Czechoslovakia walked off in protest during the final, unhappy with the performance of the English referee, ''John Lewis''. As a result they were disqualified and a second consolation tournament was organised to decide the silver and bronze medallists. However beaten semi-finalists, France , had already returned home, so the beaten quarter-finalists played-off for the right to play the other beaten semi-finalist, Holland . Spain emerged triumphant overcoming Sweden 2-1 , Italy 2-0 and then Holland 3-1 in the silver medal final. RESULTS Gold Medal Tournament Gold Medallists Belgium
