Should Olympians celebrate Silver/Bronze medals on 15:30 - Aug 10 by shandyjack
Why is it stupid?
It's not stupid Mate it makes sense but the prizes in the Lympics are Gold/Silver/Bronze,now when it comes down to football I agree completely. Wales won f*ck all at the Euros except for a load of soppy fans and they still haven't stopped celebrating.

Fair enough Dar. Think I just expect to see people more disappointed that they lost out on Gold

Go and watch the interview of the young British female swimmer who picked up a silver medal, then tell me she looked dissapointed. This is not an isolated case either.

Depends where they are coming from. If they were expected to win (or even be in with a very good shout), then 2nd or 3rd could be classed as a bit of a let-down.
Getting any medal in the Olympics is a huge achievement - I never had one.
If they are not worth celebrating, why give them out? Just give out gold for first and nothing else.
Its all relative, for some like Adam peaty anything other than gold is a major disappointment, for many a medal of any description is an enormous achievement.
Simply to be classified as an Olympian is often worth celebrating.
