With a bronze medal, an athlete might feel “At least I won a medal” or “It could have been worse.”
A silver medal gets a different comparison: “I almost won gold.” #olympics

Winning an Olympic medal is an honor. Period.

Yeah, I always though getting the bronze is better than silver. You're just happy to be on the podium narrowly avoiding the utter disappointment of 4th place. You can call yourself an Olympic medalist but won't be plagued with the same kind of "if only" thoughts.
