As Canadians we celebrate the high of Olympic swimming glory, as a brilliant bronze oasis shimmers unbelievably in a desert of solitude.

NPR did a bit this past week on which medalist appeared to be the happiest of the three. Thery actually cited a study, which found that the person who got the bronze was usually the most happy of the lot! Apparently, the gold winner was too often the favorite and was &quot;expected&quot;, the silver medalist was wondering what they could have done better to win the gold, but the brionze medalist had &quot;made it&quot; to the podium, and the study noted was more apt to be happy about their place. I can see that adding the backstory would only make that medal even more sweet. Thanks for sharing.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
