The word of the night is redemption. If you did not win at the Olympics last time, you are obligated to seek it.
Otherwise? I don’t know. If you don’t earn your Olympic redemption, do you wander around in shame for the rest of your life, unable to meet the eyes of others in polite society? All the competitors in the world all striving for a very small number of places on the victory podium, but if you do not win, no redemption for YOU.
And is redemption a zero-sum game? Because you achieving YOUR redemption at the Olympics denies someone else the chance to win theirs.
