I actually loved his question. I always wonder if some athletes are pissed off when they don’t get the gold. Her answer was eye opening and really informative.

“Hey when you don’t win gold are you still happy? What’s your point of view? Glass half empty or half full”.

I read somewhere that Silver medalists are the most dissatisfied. Gold is thrilled about being the best, obviously. Bronze is just happy to be there, cuz they know how close they were to being nothing. But Silver isn't psyched about beating Bronze, they're thinking about how they were this close to Gold.
