Hey, guys, did you think it was bad? This Wednesday morning (4), the boxer Cuban Arlen López won gold medal in Tokyo Olympics, by defeating fighter Benjamin Whittaker. However, the british competitor, who won the silver medal, was not at all satisfied… His negative reaction when climbing in the podium and receiving his award disappointed the public and had a lot of repercussions on the web.

When it came to posing with the other medalists, his mood was more than visible in the sullen face and the distance from the other boxers. Benjamin, who defeated Brazilian Keno Marley in the quarterfinals, apologized to fans who woke up to watch him and did not consider his medal a victory. “You don’t get the silver, you lose the gold”, he declared.

Do you want to despise the medal and frown? He does. Is it good-natured? No. It’s not good manners.

For Brazilians, it was impossible not to think about how this scenario could have been different: “[Whittaker] he eliminated the Brazilian and now that he lost to a Cuban he made this show of arrogance. Jesus turns off the light. Before Keno had won silver”. Gold, silver or bronze, if the medal came here, it would be very well received, right? “Imagine if it were our Kenaldinho… It would be pure success. I would be dancing”, observed Emanuel.

As Tiago Leifert, presenter of “BBB” would say: there was no fair play, right? Arlen López is the second Cuban to receive a gold medal in men’s boxing at the Tokyo Olympic Games. In 2016, he was also an Olympic champion at the Rio Olympics. The bronze medals in the light heavyweight category were awarded to Loren Berto Domínguez, representative of Azerbaijan, and the Russian Imam Khataev – the trio who appears smiling in the photos, alongside Benjamin.
