I don’t know why, but this really just about kills what little Olympic spirit I had. I understand the reasons, I do. Can’t say I’d have made a different decision. But to me it’s kind of like finding out that my 400HP muscle car is really only 100HP and the seat of the pants feel of all that power was a sensory illusion. (Yes, I had to use a car analogy)
Eh, I was never a big sports person in the first place.
