For those 'crimes,' she was widely criticized for being 'disprespectful,' 'unpatriotic' and 'un-American,' and called words that we'd rather not repeat in this piece. Lochte and friends reportedly defiled a gas station restroom, fought with a security officer, lied to national news sources, and may have filed a false police report. And the four of them get to be framed as talented 'kids' (reminder: Lochte is 32) having one debaucherous night of fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The vast gap between these two public perceptions has everything to do with the identities of the people involved. Lochte is a straight, white man, who has long been beloved for his pretty face, doofy personality and charmingly slow demeanor during interviews.

Sometimes you take actions that you later regret. They are magnificent athletes,\" said Andrada. \"Lochte is one of the best swimmers of all times. They had fun. They made a mistake. It's part of life. Life goes on. Let's go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lochte has also suggested it's time to move on. In a statement on Twitter, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RyanLochte/status/766638785140498432\">he wrote\u003c/a>, \"I want to apologize for my behavior last weekend — for not being more careful and candid in how I described the events of that early morning and for my role in taking the focus away from the many athletes fulfilling their dreams of participating in the Olympics. ...

Lochte and friends reportedly defiled a gas station restroom, fought with a security officer, lied to national news sources, and may have filed a false police report.

Since that time, it's come to pervade the culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet, whenever it's exported and applied to other aspects of life, as it often is, Bronze generally gets left behind: employee health care plans, event sponsorships, credit card companies and frequent flier programs dutifully assign Silver and Gold status levels — but with Silver serving as the ground floor. From there, they often build up and out, adding a Platinum level, a Titanium level, and even a Diamond level (which can't help but seem like cheating, as diamonds are gems, not metals. \u003cem>Pick a schema and stick with it, Delta!\u003c/em> \u003cem>It's a little thing called internal consistency, look it up.\u003c/em>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Music sales are certified Silver, Gold and Platinum.

The notion of a Bronze Age (now generally designated 1970-1985) came along relatively recently, and it connotes a time when superhero comics grew Byzantine and insular by abandoning the kids market to cater exclusively to hardcore, teen-and-adult fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this is why, when it comes to its current cultural cachet, bronze can't catch a break; it might as well be corrugated frickin' cardboard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hard proof: Both the traditional and modern breakdowns for anniversary gifts designate silver and gold as appropriate for a couple who've powered through 25 and 50 years together, respectively.

To them, the term \"Bronze Age\" represents a precise mid-point between the Stone Age and the Iron Age, so named for the tools humans were using, not any inherent value. But then, archaeologists \u003cem>are\u003c/em> notorious buzzkills. Let's you and I ignore them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where'd Bronze Go?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Modern Olympics began in 1896, organizers eagerly adopted the ancient conventions as much as possible. First place winners received an olive wreath and a silver medal; second place winners received a laurel branch and a copper medal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't until the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis that the Gold/Silver/Bronze medal hierarchy was first introduced. Since that time, it's come to pervade the culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet, whenever it's exported and applied to other aspects of life, as it often is, Bronze generally gets left behind: employee health care plans, event sponsorships, credit card companies and frequent flier programs dutifully assign Silver and Gold status levels — but with Silver serving as the ground floor. From there, they often build up and out, adding a Platinum level, a Titanium level, and even a Diamond level (which can't help but seem like cheating, as diamonds are gems, not metals. \u003cem>Pick a schema and stick with it, Delta!\u003c/em> \u003cem>It's a little thing called internal consistency, look it up.\u003c/em>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Music sales are certified Silver, Gold and Platinum. Burl Ives sang \"Silver and Gold\" but somehow never, throughout his long and storied musical career, spared even a single, tremulous note on the subject of bronzed baby shoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of the last century, there were just two commonly recognized eras of comic book publishing: the Golden Age (late 1930s-early 1950s) and the Silver Age (mid 1950s-early 1970s). The notion of a Bronze Age (now generally designated 1970-1985) came along relatively recently, and it connotes a time when superhero comics grew Byzantine and insular by abandoning the kids market to cater exclusively to hardcore, teen-and-adult fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this is why, when it comes to its current cultural cachet, bronze can't catch a break; it might as well be corrugated frickin' cardboard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hard proof: Both the traditional and modern breakdowns for anniversary gifts designate silver and gold as appropriate for a couple who've powered through 25 and 50 years together, respectively. But bronze? \u003ca href=\"http://ideas.hallmark.com/anniversary-ideas/anniversary-gifts-by-year/\">Hallmark, which really should know such things\u003c/a>, doesn't include it on the modern list at all, and it only shows up on the traditional list as \"Pottery/Bronze\" for an ... \u003cem>8th\u003c/em> anniversary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eight lousy years. All your marriage needs to do to merit bronze is hang in there just one year longer than \u003cem>Burn Notice.\u003c/em> Unless, that is, your friends opt to go the pottery route. \u003cem>Here, we do hereby celebrate your loving commitment with this ceramic duck.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why Bronze Matters\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here we are: The Olympics' Gold/Silver/Bronze medal schema makes sense only if we think in the dullest, narrowest, purely pecuniary sense. Yes, gold is rare, silver somewhat less so, and the great demand for, and limited supply of, these metals ensure their relative trading values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But these are \u003cem>athletes\u003c/em> we're celebrating. Their feats are examples of human achievement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think about that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gold and silver? They already exist in the world. They are merely ... found. Stumbled across, as you would a wild potato.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But bronze? Bronze is wholly different. It's something we \u003cem>create\u003c/em>. It is a \u003cem>human achievement\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Millennia ago, our ancestors conceived and fashioned something that had never existed in the universe: an alloy of copper and tin, alongside other metals. We, as humans, smelt it and — for the more than 2,000 years it stood as the hardest, most hotly traded metal in the world — we dealt it as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why every Olympic bronze medalist can take heart. Bronze stands for something, something profound and deeply inspiring about the human experience, that gold and silver never can or will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not that they need \u003cem>my\u003c/em> pep-talk.

Either way, tonight, you should consider tuning in for the grand finale of ladies' figure skating. Don't let all the bedazzled feathers fool you; this sport is hardcore and requires its athletes to give up everything in the pursuit of a dream. In an age when too often women are on television for the sole purpose of fighting with other women, it's inspiring whenever young girls can turn on the TV set and witness the endless possibilities available to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you haven't taken notice of the sport since \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_lGt6auYDo\">Tara Lipinski adorably won gold in 1998\u003c/a>, no matter.

Tay Tay even noticed the kindred spirit and \u003ca href=\"http://www.justjared.com/2014/02/14/taylor-swift-wants-to-watch-olympic-figure-skater-gracie-gold/\">tweeted support this week\u003c/a>.

She has become South Korea's biggest celebrity and for good reason; everything she does is shockingly perfect and inspiring. She recently took a brief hiatus from skating due to a foot injury, but came back with a vengeance at this year's World Championships, where she won gold (duh).
