Olympic Pity Party

Australia is having a bit of a Pity Party at the moment. Out of the 61 countries that have won medals, Australia is in the 24th place with 20 medals (one Gold, 12 silver and seven bronze).

This is unusual for Australia who are used to much greater wins.

For example, Australia won a total of 14 gold, 15 silver and 17 bronze medals at the Beijing 2008 Games. In Athens, Australia got  17 gold, 17 silver and 16 bronze. And at the "home" games in Sydney in 2000, the hauls was 16 gold, 25 silver and 17 bronze.

What does one do when one is used to winning and life takes a different turn?
