Did anyone just see that audio of the a$$wipe coach of the Silver Medalist pole vaulter??

She wins the silver, 2nd to the world's best pole vaulter, and all he does is talk about how bad her performance was.

1. Uh, how do you see an audio?

2. OK, there was video -- but the conversation was hot mic'd

3. Yep...I saw that and the commentary... What a no-good-son-of-a-bitch.

His Pupil busts her Ass and gets beat by the World Record Holder...and HE gets pissed.

4. He was definitely a douche

I felt bad for that woman, she has been vaulting for only 4 years, comes in second to the world record holder and he basically tells her she sucked. It looked like she was about to cry...what an ass

5. I'd never seen a silver medal winner so devoid of joy

She put a brave face on and told the interviewer "it hadn't sunk in."

6. The time to correct/criticize is not AFTER the fact.

Maybe during training, that kind of assholery can spur a student to "prove you wrong" and do better.

But after the fact, that kind of crap is pointless and cruel. Plus, she won a SILVER MEDAL AT THE OLYMPICS. And that is bad, how...?

7. Nothing less than perfection will do.

That's why these athletes are where they are.
