His comments were and I paraphrase "the athletes have mantras to try to pull themselves back into the race, and what we saw with Chelsea Sodaro it's important to know that in triathlon that much of the spitit of the sport is actually finishing, it's such an important thing, it was important that I don't have an out and I had to embrace the suck and the horrible experience to the finish"

Granger then went on to talk about how quiting is a bad habit etc and they also spoke about how she chose a spot close to her hotel to leave the track.

I think we need more of this, Laidlow is another who has a tendency to drop out if he isn't going to place well. I understand athletes wanting to save themselves but it's not a good look and something that needs to be openly shamed at worst, discouraged at best.
