If you told me before the Games that Spencer, with his injury history and in his 1st year of international senior wrestling, would outplace everyone else on this team of veterans, I would have given you a cookie
I've never seen MP write something nasty or mean unless it was to point out the ridiculousness of another poster.
Recently you wrote that the wrestling that mattered finally started. I get not being into greco or women's freestyle but that comment was supremely disrespectful to the fans and competitors of those sports and is more of a "bully" thing to do than any of the minor lights that you get yourself so worked up about.
I don't think anybody gets to the gold medal match by reveering 2nd place.
He's an intense competitor in an intense sport who just had another one of his life's goal crushed. You expect him to be skipping and grinning during the medal ceremony?
Spencer has always been very hard on himself. As a fan, I wish he wasn't. I think your 2nd paragraph features a bit of projection. I'm looking at his words right now and he plainly says he was disappointed with his lack of action and that he (Spencer) didn't deserve to him. How do you interpret that to mean that the guy that did get his hand raised didn't deserve to win?
Maybe I'm overthinking things, maybe I'm just searching for excuses, but the heavy bags under Lee's eyes make me wonder if he got scrappy sleep last night
