So, he runs a PR race, makes the final, stays in the lead pack for more than half the race, makes a bid to go for a medal .... and its somehow is an 'act that's getting old'. Jesus. Exactly what did YOU do today that makes this seem lame to you?
Agreed. Would you rather have seen him just suck off the back of the field the whole way, telling himself that just making the finals is good enough? I wouldn't want to see that. What he did took balls. He made a move. He knew if he blew up he would look like a jackass but that is the risk you have to take at times. That's the difference that has gotten him to where he is now. Take chances, otherwise you'll never be at the top.
