You said "yep! these athletes train their whole lives to NOT win."
Which is implying that they train only for the Olympics.
Most athletes compete for the love of the sport.

I don't think you "play sports" (the forget?) in the same way these athletes do.
Some of them are obviously doing to win but most people are probably aware that there are people better than them.

Most Olympians go to the Olympics just to show pride in their country. If they went there just to win, then remove 50% of the countries.

^^^doesnt play or watch sports.
Team usa's men's basketball team is far better than its competition. Bit the teams they play against try to win.

do I really need to explain this again?

Not really, gold is all that matters.

not true. Silver and bronze is important too. Plus their only leading by one in gold.

they're trying to win because that's what sport works.
that doesn't mean that they're at the olympics only because they think they will win.
