After watching the men’s big air and… (spoiler below in case you haven’t watched it yet)

Spoiler: Big Air Result

The US snowboarder, Ollie Martin, got bumped from third to fourth on one of the last boarder

Which would be worse? Just missing a gold medal and getting silver or just missing any medal and finishing fourth?

Because no one is going to remember and commercial tv loves the underdog..and hey .... that believe commercial they have been showing....who has the better believe possibility of being a inspirational speaker.... I didn't get a trophy... but I sure remember the competition yelling my name...and as for the trophies I gathered.... there dust

I’d say finishing out of the medals in 4th place is worse.

I think in the last Winter Olympics the US won the 4th place non-medal race.

Any medal >>>>>>> no medal at all

Second. Being in the top ten in any Olympic Games is amazing. Heck, just being an Olympian is special. If you medal, it’s gold you want.

Being last, imagine all that work and on the world stage only to be last. I feel for those people frozen forever in last place - yikes.

Being 4th would be worse than getting Silver. But failing to make the finals would be worse than 4th. But even last place is better than not making it.

I suppose that would depend on whether or not they were expecting to contend. I mean, if you’re an athlete from some tiny country and it’s your one chance to compete in the Olympics, just being there would be special, even in last place.
