He has now regretted that


[Tokyo Olympics: Team GB boxer Ben Whittaker
says he regrets refusing to wear silver medal on podium
The 24-year-old fighter from Wolverhampton was so
embarrassed he pocketed the medal
during the Olympic ceremony.]

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.

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

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.
