Four years later, it happened again. Still on his last shot, he made a stunning mistake and only got 4.4 points. You see, if he could perform normally, the gold medal must be his. However, he lost again with no medal. Again, another Chinese shooter, Qiu Jian won the gold medal. His story has been called the "Olympics curse of Matt Emmons". God must be kidding! Everytime he is so close to the God of Victory, he will be stopped. No one knows the reason. Well, four years ago, he lost the gold medal but won his wife, Katerina Kurkova, also a famous shooter. It is she who won the first gold medal on the first day of Beijing Olympics. Four years later, he claimed nothing except disappointment. He told the newpaper that he would continue his career. Four years later, he will appear at London. Wish good luck to him. Katerina was stunned by the last shot of Emmons.

Well, the nightmare of Athens Olympics might make him so nervous that he lost the gold medal. Chinese shooters seem to be very "lucky". In Athens, Jia Zhanbo "picked up" a gold medal. This time Qiu Jian "picked up" the gold medal too. Why did I use "pick up"? You see, Jia Zhanbo was eliminated in the qualifications.

In my view, Emmons is not psychologically handicapped. After the competition, he shed tears. But he recovered very soon. When interviewed, he smiled and seemed happy. It is a pity that he couldn't buy a big house for Katerina (Emmons promised that he would buy a big house for them if he won the gold medal but he failed to claim the champion). He is not a loser. At least, he "won" his wife. If you were required to make a decision, which would you choose, the Olympic champion or a wife?

He can have both if he stops being so stupid and starts hitting his own target. Maybe he did it on purpose - maybe he doesn't want to have to buy a big house for his wife! We all know that feeling!

You see, he failed twice and two Chinese guys replaced him to the champions. He should pray that he never meet Chinese shooters in the same group. Just kidding!
