Hopefully they don't listen to the kinds of guys that say they are semi American. It's been a difficult year for everybody, and it's been nearly impossible for Athletes that could only speculate as to whether there would be an Olympics at all, with no good way to properly train/practice/prepare for it. They love their country and their country loves them, win or lose, but they got it done today.
Men's track didn't go home empty handed, there's no good reason for anybody to give them a hard time about every mistake, slip, or stumble.

Hopefully men's track doesn't go home discouraged, they're just starting out and a lot of great things will happen for them if they don't give up. They didn't have an abudance of veterans to draw from their experience or leadership, so hopefully they don't let Carl Lewis talking to them like he was their father get to them.
The media might like to point out their mistakes, but the men's track team could have let the sting of defeat keep them from getting the gold medal today, and they didn't do that. They fought all the way through to the end, until the Olympics were over. Win or lose, they didn't give up on themselves.
