the media , and people on this thread- are trying to destroy him because he didn't win these past two weeks.

Not winning is not a sin. Not trying, not caring, not training, not being prepared, and "partying on an Olympic level" is what most people are complaining about.

I agree with you that he screwed up. I am not so sure what caused his apparent disinterest. I think I can say he didn't do it on purpose to hurt people.

I think he could have handled his PR a bit better, But then again men are famous for masking their true emotions- but he still is a World Champion-and a heck of a skier. I suppose people would have embraced him had he fallen down and cried and played a victim of something.

I feel badly for him- not superior to him.

Now some people around here..well, lets just say that apparently we have some world~ class athletes - who have a good deal better experience than I in these matters.
