Whether bronze or silver—whether you sleep and wake up on a pile of money, I see no reason why and how success has to be limited to such definitions. Personally I have always seen success and defined success as whatever you are happy at irrespective of what it is but Pier Morgan thinks otherwise.
The 51 years old controversial journalist took to Twitter how much of a loser one is when they win a bronze or silver medal, to him real win is clocking the Gold medal.
This comes after British Olympics swimmer Siobhan Marie O’Connor took home the silver medal and set a British record in the Women’s 200m individual medley. She was just 0.3 seconds behind Hungarian world champion Katinka Hosszu who won Gold but that wasn’t enough to impress TV Personality and Twitter fanatic Piers Morgan who tweeted:
“Just can’t get excited by Silver & Bronze medals. You win or you lose. Gold is all that matters. #Olympics2016”.
Siobhan Marie O’Connor’s boyfriend , fellow Olympic swimmer Chris Walker-Hebborn and retired 10km openwater Olympic Bronze Medalist Cassandra Patten took to Twitter to blast Piers Morgan asking him what he had won during his career, Piers then began to list all his achievements.
Other Twitter users also blasted him but he seem unfazed by the criticism and even asked the athletes to ask successful people like Ferguson, Mourinho, Phelps or Bolt if coming second or third meant anything. He continued to reply them, listing all his achievements.
