Mumbles February 23, 2018 Share February 23, 2018 Psychologists say that bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists, because silvers always think how close they came to winning gold, but bronze medalists are thrilled they won a medal at all. Not sure if it’s true but Osmond looks over the moon and I’m happy for her. Would have given gold to Evgenia.
