But there are people across Yorkshire bucking the trend each and every week.
So, from missing out on the medals to missing medals being replaced, here are six stories to brighten your day.
It's the taking part that counts
Getty ImagesAn athlete from North Yorkshire who competed for the Trinidad and Tobago bobsleigh team at the Winter Olympics says he is "proud" they did not finish last.
Axel Brown, from Harrogate, represented his mother's home country at the Milan-Cortina games, finishing 25th out of 26 teams in the two-man bobsleigh event, as well as competing in the four-man event.
He said: "I hope that we've shown how it can be done right and be done fun and you can enjoy the process, whether you win, lose or draw."
Missing medal replaced
The Principle Trust Children's CharityThe founder of a Yorkshire children's charity has had his MBE medal replaced after thieves snatched it during a break-in in Ilkey.
Mike Davies, who launched The Principle Trust Children's Charity to offer respite breaks and support for disadvantaged children, said the replica had arrived just 10 days after the burglary.
He said: "It was all rather nice and there was a most lovely brief letter inside. They didn't need to that."
Cult film gets stage sequel
Deano JonesReleased in March 1996, When Saturday Comes stars Sean Bean as Jimmy Muir, a brewery worker who dreamed of playing for his boyhood club Sheffield United.
Thirty years later, a superfan of the film has seen his own dream come true, with his script for a sequel set to be turned into a musical.
Deano Jones, 39, said: "The main thing is just doing it justice and putting on a musical that will inspire people and make them feel good."
Puffins return to nesting grounds
Ellen Leach / RSPBPuffins - an endangered species - have returned to their nesting grounds on the East Yorkshire coast, the RSPB has said.
Dozens of the seabirds have landed on the chalk cliffs at the charity's reserve at Bempton.
"These birds have faced real challenges in recent years, but there is hope," Senior reserve manager Dave O'Hara said.
Stonemasons flex their skills
Lily Marsh/Steve RocheTwo stonemasons from Sheffield have won a snow sculpting prize as part of Team GB's entry to the World Snow Festival in Switzerland.
Sheffield sculptors Lily Marsh and Steve Roche were part of Great Britain's four-person team, which won the public vote and came third in the technical judging at the competition in Grindelwald.
Lily said: "It's quite a liberating thing because often you can get precious about the stuff you make or get worried about it not being good enough and actually it's quite a good practice to make something and know that it's definitely going to melt."
Hospital porter scoops award
A hospital porter has been given a national award in recognition for his work supporting staff, especially women.
Mark Vipond, a portering supervisor at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, introduced changes to help female staff going through the menopause.
Vipond said some were thinking of giving up work because they were struggling with symptoms, so he set up an environment where people could talk openly.
