Is it just me or does this guy seem complacent to come in 2-3rd? I know its tough to medal in any event but for as much hype as this guy has he seems to be underachieving and ok with it.

7 medals is an amazing accomplishment but he seems happy just getting a bronze to add to the total count instead of going for the gold.

Our standards are so much higher after watching phelps. Given the his reaction when he won gold in the last olympics I would say he reaction this time around is just about right. After the slip it took a lot just to get the bronze.
