Fighting!] Although the
medals failed, it is difficult to find any self-reproach or resentment.

It is quite different from the past Olympics, when the athletes who lost the game bowed their heads. Experts say that if the Olympics were a place to promote national prestige until the 1980s and to improve the national image from the 1990s to the 2000s, now they are praising the winners as they were meant to be. It was analyzed that there was enough room to comfort the loser.
