IT'S surprising to hear an Olympic Games silver medalist apologize to China and all those who care about him simply because he failed to snatch a gold.
On Monday, young Chinese weight lifter Wu Jingbiao said "sorry" three times in tears after he lost the gold medal he had been confident about winning.
If every sportsman has to say "sorry" to his or her motherland for having failed to win a gold medal, then most players in the sports field will have to bow and express regret - after all, gold medals go to only a few.
That we place so much importance on gold medals shows our deep-rooted societal mentality that winners take all and losers lose everything. Let's learn to give losers a shoulder to lean on, encouragement, and fairer treatment.
