For me competing in sports is mostly in competing - winning being the cherry on top, as some compete for the medal, some for memories. Secondly - have you ever been in an elimination-style tournament and had the luck to encounter the later winner in first round ? I have - and could reasonably argue that it should have been the final ;-)
