I thought it was humorous.
I'm pretty sure she will lose sleep over it. Of course she's going to act like it wasn't a big deal when she's on TV, who wouldn't? She's trying to save face, like anyone else in her situation would do. But come on, she's been training for this for years and years, ANY althete would be upset that they lost a gold medal because of a stupid mistake on their part.
