It’s quite funny but silver is almost the worst medal to win. If you get the bronze then you use up the disappointment in the semi final but then you get the elation of winning the 3rd place playoff to earn your medal. Silver just feels a bit empty. 
Had 5 Live on earlier in the week and one of the Universities had done a study on how satisfied medal winners were with what they had won. Bronze medal winners were generally happier than silver medal winners. Silver medal winners were usually disappointed at missing out on gold, while bronze medal winners were happier that they had won a medal and not came 4th and missed out altogether.

Watching the Swedish girls reaction to beating Switzerland earlier compared to our boys this morning confirms this.

So who all is watching the Womens final?

I will go to bed at around 10pm and have set alarm for 1am....exciting stuff

Not me.

I also said I wasn’t getting out of bed early for the mens final though and my plans for tomorrow lunchtime have just been cancelled 🤣
