it is deffinately the former, but not the latter.

If this was sprinting, or any other sport where he is against the clock, or the unconflicting result of his opposition, then this would be hard to argue. But wrestling involves reacting to the unpredictable reactions of your opponent in a physical confrontation. Take Saitiev for instance in Sydney... He lost to someone who was lucky to make the US team in the first place. It was one of his only major events, the only one he ever took a medal in, and he was barely seen again. I know this guy won gold due to the drugs test, but his result at the olympics, the pinnacle of the sport, was impossible to predict and massively unlikely.

Saitiev was DEFFINATELY going to win in Sydney, and he came 8th or 9th or something. He was put on his back by a nobody.

So fuck your certainties.
