It's not about what I could do at the Olympics, or about how many medals our athletes won, it's about how many medals they've lost - Ones that were gift wrapped and sitting at the finish line.

That is absolutely never the case in a competition at this level. Not one single athlete has had a medal gift wrapped and waiting for them, none have won every single event on the world cup or relevant season. This is the absolute best vs. the absolute best, you aren't going to win every single time. There have been disappointments, but the idea that certain athletes had wins gift wrapped is preposterous.
LEt me ask you this, where do you get your expected results from? I'm sure you've intently followed the respective world cup seasons to know who is performing well under certain conditions, who's struggling through injuries, who's peaking, who's slumping etc., or maybe you just go with the hype machine that is CTV. Maybe that has something to do with it.
