Compton stands on the podium in a position that may be disappointing for her
this woman is in it to win it
she is not just there to represent
there may be very little pleasure in this grand accomplishment
cracking the top ten is an amazing achievement at the world level
somehow the look in her eyes does not give the message of elation
perhaps she is too busy thinking about what should have been done differently to have finished two slots ahead
