    Huh?

    No they’re not.

    Sometimes your opponent is just better than you, and crushing you is practice.

      When I was competing in climbing I knew I’d do well and just wanted to have fun. I didn’t think about others beyond seeing if I’m friends with anyone in my next group.

      This has been the case in everything I’ve competed in. Never noticed anyone stressed, just really focused.
