There are winners and then there are those who feel like winners. In all the excitement surrounding Rio 2016, we came across this hashtag #IShouldGetAMedalFor, because everyday heroism needs to be celebrated too. Or maybe they were just feeling left out of all the real excitement. Either way, it’s led to some hilarious results. Here are our top picks of people who truly deserve a medal stat!
