Mine is usually sheer horror at the prospect of getting that far and screwing up on an international stage. Secondhand anxiety is in the red zone.

I seriously dislike that some of the Olympic games end in around 5 minutes. Imagine spending years practicing fencing and then end up getting zero medals just because you had a bad few rounds.

Yep. Its like finals. You get your one-shot to get it right. Else you have to rebuild to try the next 4 years after. You get to the Olympics means you are the best of the best. And winning a medal is literally 3 out of 7 Billion human beings.

So you prepare and prepare and hope you do it all with less errors than the other guys.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
