read,"Katie Ledecky, the American swimmer, had never lost at the Olympics until Monday." Ledecky didn't win the silver — she simply lost the gold. You could say she"settled for silver," a common phrase we use during the Olympics. In other words, and to quote Ricky Bobby ,"if you're not first, you're last" — at least if you're an American gold medal favorite in the Olympic Games.
Beyond that, belittling a silver or bronze is disrespectful to athletes who work their entire lives to simply make it to the Olympics, a feat that a fraction of the world's population will achieve in their lifetime. If a silver medal is disappointing, what does that make a bronze? What does that say to the athlete who finished off the podium entirely, or didn't qualify for the finals?
