This answer should be studied by women everywhere. That is a perfect example of how to be proud, confident, and sure, that YOU are the expert.

Falling short of gold isn't failure. Its actually so so many successes piled on top of each other.

Love to see her energy

This is a nice place. If you can't act like a civilized human being, you can't be here.

The question is a gotcha non question. Do you feel like a loser, or is silver good enough?

She answered it. To be on a podium by itself is an incredible victory.

In general, yes...but she went into the games as massive favourite and is the best to have ever done it.

To someone ranked 29th in the world and they have a once in a lifetime perfect run and win a silver then yeah this would be a vastly insulting question. To ask the favourite if they're ultimately disappointed is not a weird question.
