A Silver Medal is a great achievement, especially considering Boxing is a really hard Sport to do any good at.

He should be proud of his achievement.

It was on the Olympic show this afternoon.
Entitled fella, someone beat you, get over yourself.

[Denver]

Imagine being upset over losing, if it was a white man nobody would care

Yeah former CNN Peirs Morgan feels the same as you, he's tweeted out his support for Ben.

[Brother Leon]

He lost in a final ffs. Of course he’s going to be devastated right after. The reaction is bizarre.

[AnnieK]

Plenty of other athletes lose in finals....its understandable to be disappointed but shoving his medal in his pocket shows poor sportsmanship imo when the world is watching

[rusticgal]

Of course he is disappointed….but that’s not the attitude of a good Sportsman.

You are a having a laugh.
that has nothing to do with this.


He needs to learn to respect the winner

A Swedish Olympic wrestler Ara Abrahamian left (threw) his bronze medal on the ground in the middle of a medal ceremony back in 2008.

He did receive a lifetime ban for it.

Good lad

Put it in the bin

Silver just means that you was the best of the losers.
