The other guy is ranked 39th.

These guys weren't expected to get a sniff of the platform, maybe it was their extra gear that got them into 4th place with a chance.

Every Canadian who doesn't quite get a medal isn't a failure.

Even the ones who perhaps should have gotten a medal but didn't haven't necessarily "settled" for where they finished.

Too look at this 4th place and assume they didn't have the killer instinct is being really disrespectful.
