Olympics 2021: Ben Whittaker Boxer wins Silver but will not hold it up
 

He wanted a Gold Win.

Pathetic Boxer
refused to put it around his neck.


Grow Up you nutter.


Was on SkyNewsHD

He's been so cocky all through it....I'm not surprised he's a sore loser

Typical BBC not reporting this

Getting Silver is Fine.

I saw his interview, I mean give it a rest you won a silver

he was crying for 20 minutes after the match

I know that...:laugh:

Could be a mental health problems like the American lady got halfway through her routine?

No
I do not think so.

He has now regretted that

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.

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.

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

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

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

Sure but on the News Channel
they kept the truth far away

Wasn’t there a famous footballer who did a similar thing with his losers medal - a few years ago

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.
