I guess it’s a bad culture where the country expects gold, anything less is a failure.
Terrible mentality but I guess when you’ve been winning all the time, you expect this to be the norm.
Reminds me of the article this morning I read about China and how they feel they let their country down by getting sliver. Wasn’t helped by the internet trolls either.

Seems crazy that a silver in both women’s Team pursuit and men’s team sprint feels a bit disappointing!
The various teams seem to capitulate in the finals which I don’t think has really happened before. Not quite the well oiled machine we’ve seen before.
Still unbelievably rapid though, can’t be too disappointed with world / Olympic records.
