Question
Read the excerpt from "A Performance to Remember."

Bonaly earned a silver medal, losing to Japan’s Yuka Sato. A visibly upset Bonaly claimed that her routine was far more difficult than Sato’s. She not only refused to stand on the second place winner’s spot at the podium but also removed her silver medal from around her neck. Some say that she behaved poorly. To that, Bonaly responded, “When you do sport, the rule is that you're supposed to play fair, to be a good athlete and good sport, I get it,"…"But I think at this point it was more an act of saying, 'OK, this is too much.' It happened many years in a row."
