I hope the President invites all the medalists to the WH. I'm sure they'd be treated better than being served room-temperature hamberders.

I don't watch much Olympics anymore, but I know there's been many times when the silver medalist was choking back tears because they didn't win the gold. A lot of the news coverage feeds that, too.

So and so "had to settle for the silver". "Are you disappointed that you only got a silver medal?"

550 grams of the medal is silver, only 6 grams gold is used in the gold plating.

A gold medal is mostly silver.

Very little discernment between both places IMO.

Simone made the right move for her and her teammates.

I agree with you.
