Joey Mantia of the United States finished fourth in the men's mass start speed skating final by 0.001 seconds during the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Mantia said he believed he had a medal-worthy showing on Saturday despite the pain and hopes the International Skating Union looks into the late contact.
"I dealt with the race perfectly," Mantia said."I'm a little frustrated with my body. The training was good all year, I did everything perfect, and then the last few weeks I've been dealing with stuff with my back." As it stands, Mantia ended his third Olympic Games without his first career individual medal. He collected two fourth-place finishes in the past two Winter Olympics."You show up to the Olympics with ambitions of getting gold, and then unforeseen circumstances show up and you have to pivot and focus," Mantia said."That's how life works, right? If you're unable to change your outlook on things, you're always going to be unhappy.
