Canadian Hockey Player Refuses to Wear Silver Medal After 3-2 Loss to Team USA

So much for losing with grace. The United States and Canada have been bitter rivals on the Olympic ice, particularly on the women’s side, for some time.

Twitter did not react well to Larocque’s sore loser routine:

Larocque won gold for Canada in 2014 in Sochi. Apparently, that’s the only color she’s willing to accept.

Guess she’ll have to wait four more years.
