You get what you get and you don't get upset...

Unless you're a Russian skater who is throwing a temper tantrum (a la a 5 year old) because he didn't win the Gold medal.
Talk about 'bad sports'...I think we're all taught that if we don't win, we graciously congratulate the one who did and move on. I guess they don't teach that in some school systems in the world.
Check out perezhilton.com for info on the Russian skater who literally awarded HIMSELF a platinum medal (which doesn't exist) for his performance at the Vancouver Olympics. He posted it all over his website and basically says he was robbed.

Ok, listen...it's a judged sport and, admittedly, I am certainly NO authority on the subject. Plus, I didn't even watch the event. But, I know a cry baby when I see one (or hear about one).

Lord man get over yourself. Pull your damn skate laces up and try again in 4 years. Nobody gets everything they want or even deserve in life. It's called "life isn't fair". We all have to learn that and it can sting, but remember that the true measure of your character is how you deal with adversity, not only how you deal with the good stuff.
