Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

As bummed as I am to see Lee and Brooks not take gold, the following positive thought washed over me after seeing each's loss:

At least this means they won't be one-quad-and-done.

Olympic Gold is the pinnacle of the sport, and it's tempting to rest on your laurels when you win it.  Some, like JB, Kyle and Taylor, come back for more.  Others, like Cael, Cejudo and Gable (both of 'em), are satisfied, and hang it up.  As Taylor recently admitted, it is really hard to keep yourself motivated after achieving his lifelong goal.

But what you pretty much NEVER see is someone as young as Lee and Brooks hang it up after earning an Olympic medal but not a gold one.  Usually it just makes them hungrier.

Here's to hoping that getting a taste of their goal, but falling slightly short, means we get to see another 4 more years (at least) of them working to get even better and mowing over their international competition.
