And the Olympic Gold Medal for sour grapes

goes to .......

Either Australia who for once are being stuffed by Britain and have come out with "Yeah, but they only win Gold when they're sitting down"

or

The USA who have historically (and hysterically?) claimed that 2nd position is 'first loser', but are now saying they lead the medal table because they have a greater medal total than China. Using their own terminology that means they have more losers than China. Is that really what they meant to say ???

Over the years I have become more and more disillusioned with the Olympics. Some of the activities that qualify as Sport I say dah.... Maybe next summer Olympics there will be Dodge Ball and Hopscotch as Olympic Sports.

Yes, both Australia and the US with their attitudes show poor sportsmanship.

I love the Olympics...there are always some stellar moments and incredible incidents of sportsmanship...unfortunately there are some real losers too, who muck up the whole experience.

Oh, sorry, I thought the sour grapes was coming from an OF who finds himself putting aluminum cans in the recycling bin.
