Learn not to blubber and scream like a child when you don't get your own way love.

Sorry, I hope she loses as from her numerous TV appearances since the Olympics she seems to have no regrets about her behavior

I hope by continuing to lose she can understand learn how to lose with dignity

"I'm in good condition without any major injuries," Abe said in an online interview with reporters. "As a challenger, I want to start from scratch again."

Never give up is the best way forward, life is full of second chances. Hold your head high and work harder.

I understand the passion and intense feelings of losing major competitions. I have (not as big as the Olympics, of course). But you can't go on a scream-cry fest like that in front of the whole world because you lost fair and square. It looked awful and was the epitome of poor sportmanship.

Like carpslidy mentioned above, on the many variety shows afterwards, she never once seemed to regret reacting the way she did. If she loses again, will we have to see such childishness again?

Lots of pros lose, but they don't throw a hissy fit and cry non-stop like a sore loser.
