It is truly petty! These athletes bust their butts to get the chance to participate in the Olympics and from the way these articles are often written, they somehow failed because they didnt win a gold medal!
I'll bet none of the writers can say they were "Olympic" athletes, and maybe that affects their judgement in how they write the articles!
Fighto!
The fact that Ledecky didn't even medal is a first ever - therefore deserves to be highlighted. It is not showing disrespect, merely highlighting what is a pretty big shock.

An hour after the 200-meter freestyle, Ledecky won gold in the 1500-meter freestyle, a full 23 seconds faster than Australia's Kiah Melverton.
Fighto!
She won, and was 4 seconds faster than the silver medallist, Sullivan.

Ledecky was a whopping 17 seconds off from her World Record, and nobody was that close
