Brisbane-based psychologist Christine Bagley-Jones says for near winners such as these the experience can be "gut-wrenching ... and really upsetting".
“The first step for people who find themselves in this situation is to give yourself the opportunity to acknowledge the disappointment and the loss that you’re feeling and allow yourself the time to deal with it," she says. “Beyond that, it’s about recovering from that sense of missing out by taking stock of what you actually have in your life that is still really good."

Until recently, sports psychology mainly focused on training the mind to win. But over the next two weeks, most Olympians will lose and experts are starting to realise that facing up to that prospect might save them from crushing disappointment.
Out of the 10,500 athletes battling for gold at London's Olympic Games, only 302 will win. The others will face the disappointment, anger and shame that comes with failure.
