He was not relaxed and focused, however like most things in this country its done at an amateur level. When you get to the Olympics you have reached a different level of performance and realization yet our athletes perform as though they are high schoolers just doing try outs by making the most absurd mistakes - fighting with themselves, running out of lane, being over emotional, taking things lightly, etc. The attitude of "Just happy to be there" will not bring in gold.
