At the same time, athletes and coaches from sports leagues at least get a little between of time between the loss and facing the cameras. In track, we herd them right to the media area with very little time to reflect on the race that just concluded.

This is exactly what I mean. You didn't see Lebron James answering questions on the court as Golden State was going nuts celebrating did you? They were given over 30-45 minutes to shower, compose themselves, and then answer questions, not 30 seconds after the race. If we want athletes to be able to adequately respond to the media and give interviews that fans want to see, we need to change our structure of when we do it then.
OK. Good point. They should have some time to compose themselves and dry off. The winners however are interviewed all the time on the court or field right after a game.There should be a designated area and time the 'losers' should have mandated to be.

Post competition interviews almost always are nothing but inane drivel.
"How does it feel to have missed a national team berth by a trillionth of a second?"
"It feels great! I just want to thank the Good Lord for helping me stay off the team because now I don't need to renew my passport."
I wish more athletes hopped the fence and avoided interviews.
Like I told Ya, he would gear up, shuffle back to the mix zone and pretend to be sincere ....
Nike told him; 'go down there or you don't go to the European b meets, period '.
What a brave, true human being .
The most disingenuous interview performance of late .

Whaaaaa whaaaaa whaaaa. It's not like this is new. They know it going into the races. How much time do you need reflect. It's not like a 2+ hr game.
It's a friggin few minutes if racing.
