I honestly think it's better for SJ that she has this loss on her record. It would be awesome if she qualified for Beijing without any defeats, but keeping a winning streak going is very stressful on any athlete, especially at the highest level of competition. Now she can take this in, focus on training --- not on winning, and come out firing at the qualifying tournaments.
I'd rather have the loss and not have to worry about keeping a streak alive, but that's just my humble opinion.
