Who knows? This loss may wake him up and get him to practice more -- that's what he did after losing this summer.
But calling him a loser is going too far. Even if he doesn't place in even one event this go-round, he has more than proven he is anything but a loser. The reality is he may really not be in the same class as last Olympics -- he is older, his opponents are younger and have learned a lot (especially from him).
