I didn't see the competition, but I caught the team on the Today Show this morning. I would have thought they'd won gold with how thrilled they were!

It was wonderful to see that kind of happiness over a third place win. All too often the "seasoned" Olympians are disappointed to the point of anger over anything less than first-place. Them, I just want to shake and say, "You didn't lose the gold; you won the bronze!" I'm glad these guys can see it for the huge accomplishment it is!
