Anyone able to post all 10 here?

I could photoshop Spencer in on the 125 medal stand if he no showed.

Nah, I've seen enough of eyeglass homicide for a while.  I just thought of it bc ESPN cuts out as soon as HWT is over and there is no true "wrap up" of the matches.  But if you can find and post them, that would be cool.

The smile on Vito's face 😂 and stoic RBY looking like his mind is elsewhere, as usual 😶

This is classic stuff.  If you look at most tournament podium pictures the guys on the left (even placers, 2, 4, 6, and eight) are usually glum/stoic, and the right side, odd placers tend to be smiling because they won their last match.   Rationally, the second place guy should be happier than all the places three through eight, but casual empiricism suggests that that isn't the case.

Clearly not 100% of the time (e.g., there's some high school freshman in 8th who was delighted just to place), but feel free to pull out some picture you have and see if there aren't more smiles on the odd side than the even.

This is 100% true. But why do I get the feeling that RBY would have that exact same expression even if he won last night? He didn't take the season seriously either way.
