Exactly. No matter which kind of sport we talk about, if it is not the first place then there is disappointment. And when it is the first place the only thing that remains is this huge expectation to defend one's first place next time, otherwise this would be a daunting blow. All competition and comparison is ego-based, and the ego as we know always searches for the fly in the ointment...but of course this is all money driven on the one hand, desire for fame on the other. And the more we want the latter, the more it might mean that we have to compensate for a lack of Self-Love.
Thank you for sharing this reminder! :)
