No One Likes a Bad Loser.

Olympic Rings on Tower Bridge.

Why does no one seem grateful for the medals that they are winning at the London 2012 Olympics.  It seems that many of the athletes who have only won bronze or in some cases even silver, are still crying just because they didn't get gold.  Now we have so called athletes being disqualified for trying to fix their results.  What is going on with the rest of the world.  Team GB, who are now 10th in the medal table having finally won 2 golds themselves (plus 2 silver and 4 bronze), would not stoop to such childish behaviour.  Is the rest of the world putting too much pressure on their athletes to win?  The British athletes train hard and do their best.  They do themselves and their country proud and if they don't win, then they suck it up and congratulate those that did.  Great Britain may not have the best athletes but we certainly have the best sportsmanship.  The rest of the world could learn a lot from us, like how to handle defeat with dignity.
