Men's track 

What's possible is only possible if you fight all the way through to the end and you won't fight the whole way through if you lose focus halfway through. The Olympics are almost over and there will be plenty to get distracted by afterward, no matter what mishaps you had yesterday, you can still finish strong so that you don't feel like all the work is ahead of you in life.
The Olympics is almost over, but it's not over yet. Men's track isn't beyond redemption if they want redemption, but they've really let some slips get to them and get them stuck for a few days.

Men's track team 

Having young and (Olympics) inexperienced teams hasn't stopped the women's track, the swimmers, gymnasts, or the numerous other sports, so why should the Men's track team let it stop them from reaching their dream? They don't owe it to anybody else, but as hard as they worked, they might as well take a gold home before they leave Tokyo, not that they have to. If there's a job you really want to get done, you feel better if you get it done than waiting for it to happen in a few years. If you tell yourself you'll be ready in a few years, you most likely will, but you will also not be ready for something great that could happen to you now.
The Men's track team might wake up before the Olympics is over, but only they will determine that.
Anything that is safe isn't something the media has to convince you is safe. People have good enough sense and intuition to know what is safe and what is not. If a doctor tells you jumping off a bridge is safe, do you listen to a doctor because the doctor is qualified, or do you make sure you don't try it without a bungee cord if it's above a certain height , especially if it's not a bridge over water?
People know what is safe and what is not, they also know anybody trying desperately to convince them something is safe is a questionable source, even if it's the media.

Someone that is an enemy of your enemy and a friend of you one day, then is an friend of your enemy and and an enemy of you the next, to get a different perspective.
He/she had been shifty long enough that it made some people think that he/she was just pretending to be their friends while looking carefully for a spot to place their dagger. Someone is simply either your friend or your enemy.

Compromise 

Letting someone else get the best of you to keep life on an even keel.
Not everybody had a 6th grade version of themselves that would kick the shit out of the adult version of themselves comromising everything, some people had a 6th grade version of themselves that wanted to become rich and powerful enough to force everyone else to compromise everything.
The pandemic is nowhere near unbearable, so if it lasts longer because of people not getting vaccinated, it lasts longer. It's already lasted over a year, nobody that hasn't gotten a vaccine is in a hurry.
There is nothing unbearable about the pandemic. It is a pestilence perpetuated by pests, that's about it.

Neighborhood 

Where you're from.
It wasn't just his neighborhood, it was anybody's that was originally from the neighborhood, but as one of many people originally from the neighborhood, it was also his neighborhood, and he knew who's neighborhood it was, and who's neighborhood it never was, and never would be.
