It’s interesting at the same time though how many on this board think they understand the mental and physical pressure on an Olympic athlete. You have personal experience?
Do you think it's any more or less than a father working his arse off, struggling to provide for his family? Working 2 jobs so his kids' future might be better than his own, all while trying to be a good husband to his wife and father to the kids?
Is the pressure more or less? Is the significance of that pressure more or less? Which pressure matters more in the grand scheme of things?
I honestly don't give a damn about the pressure an athlete faces, nor do I excuse them for quitting under it. Especially on the world stage. I'm damn sure not going to celebrate it like many tried to.
