Don't really see why Fisher switched his entire racing approach so drastically after his best career season with 2 global medals, especially in a year where the only people that beat him in either event are now out of shape or not contesting the events.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And if you play stupid games, you're gonna win stupid prizes
