Not sure “sore loser” is the best label of the situation. He didn’t throw a fit or act disrespectful in the defeat. And I’m not sure just skipping out on the podium would be enough to consider it “sore loser” level, though it would be disappointing. Though I feel he and his coaches will have him straight enough to appear for the podium moment. He may be distraught and even mentally in a bad spot, but I don’t feels I’d make my core memory of him a “sore loser.”
