I think Jerry Seinfeld has a stand-up bit on that. He says that the silver medallist knows they're the best "loser" but the bronze medallist is just happy to be there. Or something like that.
I was just thinking that I recall that from my university psych text: the bronze medalist is commonly happier than the silver medalist because of what they're comparing themselves to.
And the gold medalist...seems if they're a favourite to win going in they often seem more relieved than ecstatic.
