Yeah, I saw some recent clips from women’s gymnastics for the individual all-around.
Beijing 2008: Shawn Johnson was favored to win the all-around title but came in second to Nastia Liukin. They both smiled. Maybe this is because they were on the same team and the Olympics is a “country vs country” kind of competition.
London 2012: Gabby Douglas wins the individual AA and the 2 Russian girls are in tears. They were distraught (Aly Raisman came in 4th. She didn’t smile but hugged Gabby immediately.)
Rio 2016: Simone Biles had no competition. Either way Aly Raisman was happy to place second.)
Tokyo 2020: Rebecca Andrade of Brazil appeared happy to place second to Suni Lee of the USA.
That's a good point, actually: if you're up against Simone Biles or Missy Franklin, it's really a race for 2nd place. So it's the bronze medalist who should have an attitude.
