🥉 Laura Muir, Matt Hudson-Smith and Geraint Thomas were delighted to win bronze this month. ➡️ SimonOHagan finds out what’s so special about the bottom step of the podium.
reported on findings that revealed that silver medal winners at the Barcelona Olympics of 1992 appeared to be a lot. If facial expressions mean anything — and they surely mean a lot — there is no disguising that third – paradoxically – is often a better place to be than second.
Rare is the third-placed finisher who’s going round saying, “I should have won!” They know they are a little too far away for that. Geraint Thomas had no problem accepting that the Tour’s No 1 and No 2 riders — Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar — were way better than him. Much more likely is that those in third place are saying, “Thank God I didn’t finish fourth”.Ah, fourth place. The worst place of all.
