Outside of those caught doping, Miller's performance has to be the biggest Olympic disgrace in recent memory. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy...

One of Bode's commercials makes a good point.

We ought not be telling our kids that if they can't be the BEST they ought not compete in sports.

He also said previously, that winning is not coming out first, but doing your best.

If you win, but didn't do your best, that is not good.

He's right and I can't fault any of these people for not getting the gold medals. The pressure, the expectations and the possibility of injury is immense.
