@sgt1372 /continued - I agree that the fault was in his mental game, not the physical. Hence his comment that if he'd been an Olympian in 2022 he'd have had that experience to learn how to handle Olympic pressures.

@sgt1372 w/ each performance the expectations increased. I was thinking earlier about how Olympics R different than other competitions. Single sport competitions all are focused on 1 sport, participants & audience alike. Here it's multiple sports, multiple audiences. Very different than what he's used to. Many more mental distractions. /more

@sgt1372 what he said was exactly right. If he'd been in the 2022 Olympics he *would* have known how to handle the stress better this year. I was rather amazed how quickly he rebounded from such a massive disappointment.
