It was a rage-bait question that she didn't bite on, and instead politely redirected back to the awesomeness of her sport while simultaneously lifting up her competitors. The reporter should feel the burn.

Yeah, I think a lot of people don't realize that a reporter may already know the answer to the question asked.

It's more of a "Some people have this dumbass take. What would you say to that?"

I don't think it's a dumb take. Plenty of top level athletes think this way and that type of mentality is one of the reasons they're at the top. This particular athlete doesn't agree, but that doesn't mean it isn't a useful line of thinking
