It seems that in Australia, the media are really criticising their olympic athletes. Even people who won silver medals are being criticised. I know that the British media are capable of being incredibly evil at times, but no one got slagged off for winning silvers and bronzes. People seemed happy to get medals, particularly as the host nation. Okay, so Australia are not cleaning up as they have done, or indeed as they can do at the Commonwealth Games for example (no USA or China). However, I really don't think that criticising people helps. If an athlete doesn't achieve what they expect to, then they will probably put themselves under a mental beating. They don't need the media to do it for them.
