Why did Chip give up, and go home at the 15 meter Nationals? He let a lot of people down.

It sounds like Chip did the right thing, It is easy to push your self or be pushed by others, it takes a lot more to take a step back and look at your self and know when you are not in the condition to make good decisions. There will always be another day, you should listen to the voice inside you before you listen to the voices outside.
