1. Bad days happen to everyone
Fans cheer, athletes perform; that’s the deal. Sometimes though, fans are left wondering why the athletes they’re cheering for aren’t performing the way they expect. We all have bad days—sometimes that can extend to weeks or months. After the Games, Noah Ohlsen took to Instagram to explain to his fans why he may have left them a bit disappointed: “The thing is, for some reason, all week something just didn’t feel right. It’s kind of indescribable and in no way am I making an excuse. I just know that that was not me out there on the floor. I couldn’t quite tap into who I am as an athlete, but for mere moments that seemed far too seldom. It’s tough when a year of work is showcased in one week, especially when it’s such a grueling one.”
