Beijing 2008 boxing bronze medallist Tony Jeffries agreed with Johnson. He told JOE how just making it to an Olympics is an achievement in itself and that to then win a medal is "unbelievable."
He said: "It’s so hard to get to an Olympics it really is. Anyone who gets to an Olympics and doesn’t come back with a medal, they’ve got that Olympian status for the rest of their life. It’s the pinnacle of sport, you’ve got to be an amazing athlete to get there.
"So anyone that’s getting there that’s an achievement in itself and something to be really really proud of. Then to come away with a medal is unbelievable. It means you’re the best of the best no matter what colour the medal is."

Or you can listen to Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson. You're choice.Man shot with crossbow on UK university campus
