Sour grapes,over inflated ego and entitlement are not Olympic ideals...

I just perused the article about this athlete. Talk about massive case of entitlement. Who gives a rat's a#($*# that you thought you were going to win. Every athlete goes to the line thinking of themselves the same way. This is the nature of the sport. Sometimes out of the blue someone can be better than you on that occasion. Lady, get over yourself.

“I had a few tears straight after the race... I was just so disappointed that I wasn’t one step higher... I’ve never celebrated since and I can’t watch the race anymore. I’ve probably only watched it twice. I’ve never been satisfied with it. And people say you should be pleased with the silver medal. But I never will be because I wanted the gold. That’s just the way it is. I am still not happy with the silver..."

Speaking of the gold winner Benita Fitzgerald Brown, Ms Strong went on to say: "I hadn’t actually expected her to challenge because she had done nothing before and did nothing after, so it was a bit out of the blue."

Started and own my own successful business employing a 175 people. Set up three full ride scholarships to my alma mater for those less fortunate than myself. Reared three very successful, stable children and gave them the skills and foundation to cope with whatever the world throws at them.

What have you done?

Interestingly I'm also an entrepreneur who has sold multiple companies and as such as I am basically retired at 38. Which is why I'm on this hellsite at 12:28pm!

One of the other main differences between you and I is that I don't start dumb threads criticizing people for how they felt about the biggest disappointments in their lives, and I certainly don't do it throwing around the world entitlement, eschewing the obvious irony of telling someone else they are entitled when I am in fact the one who feels entitled to tell someone else how they should feel.

I don't think you know what "entitlement" means.
