exactly. as the wise mikhail botwinnik once said: "there is no shame in losing, when your opponent plays brilliantly". and although he said it about a chess game that he lost, this idiom applies to any sport or competition. you can find the medal ceremony, where matthias tells him about what happened to his wife and he has a fine reaction ( imho) there as well. not much good has been said about russians in the past years, but i guess for chigishev an example must be made. he seems like a nice dude.

He had lifted a far heavier burden coming into the competition. Compared to what he had been through the previous year that was light weight. A true champion.
