Why do we subject Olympics athletes to these interviews moments after competing?

The Olympics, especially this year, is all about people achieving extraordinary feats in a pretty terrible context. What a microcosm of the human experience! And as humans, just like the Olympians, we know how annoying it is when people try to talk to us while we are tired, overwhelmed, depleted, distracted, and busy trying to celebrate with someone who isn’t so nosy.
I was raised road biking with my parents. Early on, they taught me that if you want to be really rude to someone you’re biking with, ask them a personal question on a steep climb. You wait until your cycling companion is just starting to shudder for breath, just struggling to self-regulate, and you say, “What do you think of your neighbors who cut down that beautiful mature oak tree?” My parents and I will do this to one another, but only because we can tell each other to go away.
After their astounding performance in the qualifying race earlier in June, Olympian runners Sydney McLaughlin and Dalilah Muhammad could barely utter more than four words at a time before they needed a sharp intake of breath. Maybe a sign they should be permitted to cool down before interviews! Even with relay swimmers a couple days ago — three of whom had some minutes to recover — it was impossible to tell the order of who’d been out of the pool first, because they were all heaving.
