Also, we are not happy with 2nd place for anything. Like our health care. Don't you know we are #1 in health care? (I mean #37, just above Cuba and behind Costa Rica). But we "claim" to be #1.
That's because we didn't get bronze medals. If we had, we would have been gracious in defeat. When we win silver, we can be petulant.

Quite a storybook ending. Both teams from Finland accepted their bronze medals graciously. Unfortunately the USA teams did not.
