I 100% believe he lost on purpose so that it can be used as a proof that TIMs can lose against women.

I honestly think that destroying women' s rights is the only thing that would make men like him willing to throw away a trophy.

I have not been following the Olympics at all, but when I saw headlines that he lost all three events I immediately suspected him of throwing the competition for political reasons. Now he can be a history-making hero without and sympathetic female pulling focus from him, and now people will use this as supposed proof that there can be fair competitions between males and females.
