British Athletes/Twitter users blast Piers Morgan asking what he has won after he tweets 'Silver & Bronze medals don't matter

On Tuesday night British Olympics swimmer Siobhan Marie O’Connor took home the silver medal and set a British record in the Women’s 200m individual medley. She was just 0.3 seconds behind Hungarian world champion Katinka Hosszu who won Gold but that wasn't enough to impress TV Personality and Twitter fanatic Piers Morgan who tweeted

'Just can't get excited by Silver & Bronze medals. You win or you lose. Gold is all that matters. #Olympics2016'

Siobhan Marie O’Connor's boyfriend , fellow Olympic swimmer Chris Walker-Hebborn and retired 10km openwater Olympic Bronze Medalist Cassandra Patten took to Twitter to blast Piers Morgan asking him what he had won during his career, Piers then began to list all his achievements

 

Other Twitter users also blasted him but he didn't seem fazed by the criticism and even asked the athletes to ask successful people like Ferguson, Mourinho, Phelps or Bolt if coming second or third meant anything. He continued to reply them, listing all his achievements.
