Often described as the "first loser," some Olympians that come is second place look less than ecstatic to appear on the podium to receive their silver medal, unlike the gold medalist who've won the top spot and bronze medalists who look happy to have made it on the podium. While this mantra doesn't apply to all athletes there are some that clearly thought they deserved gold, judging by photos taken during the medal ceremony.

Actually sometimes people don't even remembered who the gold medalists are sometimes. It just really depends on the sport, such as with track or taekwondo; and who the remembering is done by. Sometimes, the silver or bronze medalists may be remembered moer than the gold medalists. Like I said, it just really depends on the sport and who the remembering is done by. Michael Phelps needs to suck that poor face in because he surely wll be remembered for all of his other medals which are mostly gold from like 3 other Olympics. McKayla Maroney already has a gold medal with her team but surely people will remember her for her cold face reaction she gave after her loss lol.
