Do you think the first place podium at the Vancouver Olympics is as much higher than the second, as second place podium higher than the third?
A recent scientific research demonstrated that people that won bronze on average are much happier about their award than people that won silver. Do you think podium height may have something to do with that?

I think the people who got silver are frustrated they did not get gold. The people who got bronze are happy just to get a medal so they are happy. I don't think the height per se has anything to do with it as on the actual podium, silver and bronze are the same height. Gold is the only one that is actually higher than the others.
