Looks like he's doing everything right. Getting paid big bucks to run for a living. Solid family life. Winning medals at the Olympics. Dude has it dialed in. The fact that you (and people like you) don't like him is just an extra benefit I would think. A cherry on top.
Rupp is a bad loser, just like Ronda Rousey is a bad loser. It's an unattractive quality. It's weakness. People respect those who don't run away anytime things don't go their way.
Compare how Rupp and Ronda handled setbacks to how Shalane handled things today (or Conor McGregor after losing to Nate Diaz). Did interviews and answered questions. Rupp did what he always does when things go poorly. He disappeared.
Reminds me of Cam Newton after losing the Superbowl.
