If he was smart, he'd beg off. He'd just embarass himself if he competed in it... there isn't a single guy already qualified he can beat. But if he doesn't do the show, and tells everyone he needs to take the time to improve himself, he can ride this whole "I qualified for the O" for a whole 'nother year! (of course, he won't be mentioning that he qualified on a 4th-place technicality at the weakest show of the year, and even that 4th was gifted to him.)
