I agree completely. NBC expected great things from him and was surprised to learn that his goal was to party at the Olympics and just soak in the experience. Bob Costas summed it up well after an intervew that NBC did in Bode's RV. Something like - "You'll find that, if you stop caring about how well you do, pretty soon nobody else will, either."
It reminds me of when I was on the rowing team in college. After 2000 meters of pulling for all I was worth and wanting to throw up at the end, as we're carrying the boat out, some of us remarking that we were so tired we were concerned about being able to hold the weight of the boat, someone would pipe up, "I'm not that tired, because I didn't pull 100%. I was just here for the race experience." You learn right away to not invest anything in a person like that.
