Life must be awesome though if the reason for being terribly, terribly sad on the podium is that you only won Olympic bronze instead of your 4th (!) consecutive Olympic gold medal  

 

I very well remember that interview after their 3rd consecutive gold in Beijing, "our goal was always to win 5 golds in a row, you know one for each of the 5 olympics rings, we have now three, London and Rio to come" that bronze in London hurts them so much mentally that they even failed to qualify for Rio as you certainly know very well
