Olympic Games.. What a shame
What has happened to the Olympic spirit?
There was a time when win or lose we were very proud of the effort they put in and the spirit in which they competed. Not any more I'm afraid.
Whats wrong with being humble in defeat. Why are they made to feel they have to apologise to anyone for not winning. Sure, they did not win, but hold your head up, stand up proud and say you gave it your best shot.
Why is an Olympic dream shattered because you only win a silver medal? So what if you are the second best in the world. What is so devastating about that?
A lot of athletes could learn a lot from Leisel Jones on the way she reacted to coming 5th. That is the sign of a real champion.
