It's such a weird psychology, since to even _*appear_* in Olympic competition is to be globally acknowledged as one of the greatest in the entire world at a particular sport. The difference in time between Gold and Silver is quite often measured in thousands of a second, and that clearly means that both competitors were of equal skill and talent, one of them just had a better day on the field than the other.
 
The phrase "...*only* won Bronze" doesn't even make sense-- it's like, yeah, what a *burden* to have the whole world see that you were literally the *third best human being on the planet* at that event.
