Watching the Olympics brings a curious idea to mind. The USA women's 4 x 100m free swimming team just set a new record for Team USA but finished second to a near world record finish by the Netherlands team.
From the distraught faces of the women on the USA relay team you'd think they just finished last. Really? Is a silver medal at the Olympics not an accomplishment?
I know our culture and the nature of competition makes #1 the place to be but does that mean there should just be one medal awarded, the gold? The image should be of all competitors as Olympians, not just gold winners and losers.
