How would you react to this competitor?

Imagine that in the next few sasuke competition, this competitor appears: 

He is a rando athlete and in Inui fashion of putting random in the 90s, he is no exception. Now, it seems as though Inui really likes this rando athlete because unlike the standard of putting randos in the 90s that is not above #95, this rando athlete is being put as number #97. I guess Inui is a simp for this rando. Anyways, this rando achieves the following achievements in his first tournament: 

-Gets the stage 1 speed record 
-Gets the stage 2 speed record 
-Reaches VL and falls there, but is also the LMS and competitor who went the furthest 
-Get's first place in his very first competition, and completely outshines the other competitor who clears the first and second stage
-He is also the last competitor to clear both stages 1 and 2, and is the last person to run stage 3, yes he is being set up as a top competitor in his very first tournament. 

He competes again and is given #99!!!!! Most expect him to achieve total victory but then this happens: 
-Is hyped up like crazy before the tournament, so much so that the fans get sick of this treatment. 
-He clears the first stage in the slowest time (0.00 seconds :00000000) 
-Fails instantly on the second stage RL 

He competes again and i guess Inui really has a thing for this competitor because he is given #96 despite a underwhelming performance in the previous tournament. Anyways, here is his results in this tournament: 
-Is hyped but fails the fails rolling hill ://////// 

He competes one more time and at this rate, I guess Inui has a crush cause he is now given #98 (wwwwwhhhhaaaatttttt), anyways, putting Inui's crush aside, here is how he does: 

-Clears the stage with 0 seconds left (slowest time) 
-Tries to go fast on the spider walk but slips and falls 

After that, he never appears again. 

Now, how would you react to this stupid hypothetical competitor that I made up because I am bored? Let me know guys. 

TLDR: How would you react to a one tournament wonder competitor that is times 100000.

Nah not really, Shinji wasn't particularly hyped on his debut as he wore #74 and didn't even get a fluff piece until he reached Stage 3, as well as giving another good run during his career in Sasuke 14.

I was thinking more along the lines of Levi, except a bit more extreme. He gets a high number and a load of hype due to being the number one qualifier from ANC and does considerably the best of any competitor as well as being LMS, then his further performances were super underwhelming, though unlike the example here he manages to still get the fastest times whenever he did clear again. 

Tbh something like this wouldn't surprise me, because obviously a strong debut performance can result in a lot of pressure which can culminate in a load of mental errors, such as on the Warped Wall which would result in the low clear time, or early fails etc. It would still go down in history as one of the most disappointing career paths though. Having an insane first performance and then constantly underdelivering after that.

I think actually people would probably suspect this competitor of using performance enhancing drugs in his first (practically unnatural) run. If he was, then perhaps Inui/TBS introduce safeguarding against drug use which obviously impacts his latter performances until he gives up.If he wasn't, then being accused that way pisses him off and turns him away from Sasuke training thus explaining his poor performances.
