Think about it, you have an entire country competing, in every form of entertainment, how can anybody, no matter how good you are expec to win. Dont get me wrong, i think Susan is incredibly talented and has done very well, but everyone will have to admit that the winners were something special and just as deserving as the most down and out competitor. Take it from someone that has been involved in competition his entire, and in some instances at the highest level. In competition there is always someone or a team that does not win gold. I once got upset when i was sprinting at nationals and didn't win. I had it in my head that i trained hard enough that i deserved to win. My coach pulled me aside. And told me that everybody here deserved to win, but there could only be one winner. And that i had also lost sight of the big picture, i was running at nationals. That was a massive achievment in it self. The point i am getting too is that maybe this time it isn't the media's fault. Perhaps Susan had just lost sight of the massive achievments she had made, while focussing on what was a relatively minor one in comparison. Thats what i think anyway.
