So I think that actually Javier has more to lose in France, than Shoma.
This. I think Javier is going into IdF with a lot to prove, whereas Shoma has had a steady season and is in stick-with-the-plan mode. That must help a lot with dealing with any pressure.



I agree that I'd just be happy to see him on the podium in the Olympics, and I'd love to see a good competition with minimal splats and pop concerts for everyone. It's always more fun when there are many good contenders. Anyway, the Olympics is just one event (despite all this tension), so I'm happy Shoma keeps saying that the Olympics is not his ultimate goal.
