Emotional Olympic Moment
The huge favorite and US shooting star Ilia Malinin can't handle the pressure and slips up in his freestyle a couple of times. Surprise winner in figure skating becomes his good friend Mikhail Schaidorov from Kazakhstan instead, completely bewildered and obviously overwhelmed. The German television commentator's voice breaks last night when he remembers former Kazakh figure skater Denis Ten, who won the bronze medal at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi but lost his life at the age of 25 due to a robbery in 2018. "I hope he's looking down from heaven... (pauses) ... and is happy."
In German we say "er zeigt Nerven" [shows his nerves] when s.o. gets too nervous to handle the pressure. Is there a good English equivalent?
Would "blunders/makes a blunder in his freestyle" work as well? Other suggestions for colloquially expressing "makes a mistake" that'd fit here are also welcome; maybe goofs/boobs/fluffs his freestyle/during his freestyle?
I guess "I hope he looks down from heaven... (pauses) ...being happy." is probably not good;
What about "He'll be looking down from heaven... (pauses) ... and will be happy." (assuming that...)?
