If you talk to these athletes they have a very good gauge of where they rank around the world. If they PB'd or got a near PB at the olympics I bet they are very excited. If they didn't perform to expectations or made a costly error then they will be mad at themselves.
The mindset of the Athletes is very different from an average person. So I bet lots of the people finishing 40th sleep very well and some of the people finishing 5th don't.
