Mistake spiral some what relates to The Parable of the Two Arrows as Buddha explained to his student- In life, we cannot always control the first arrow. However, the second arrow is our reaction to the first. The second arrow is optional.
Also as Viktor Frankl famously said- Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
All of these things are way easier said than done but the way Ilia is dealing with publicly is quite good. And in an individual sport where there is no timeout or something, it is quite a difficult task to get back in the groove especially when one is flooded/overwhelmed on mental & emotional level. I don't think so Ilia was pretending the moment was small, it was just that he didn't want to get overwhelmed before the event or didn't wanted to put extra pressure.
All of this can be clarified by Ilia, we can just guess what we think or can make assumptions from listening to him on media before the event.
Steve, I believe this can occur collectively on a team. One thing goes bad and that spiral starts and it is hard in game to stop it. I am new to your material I am sure you have solutions or have noticed this in action and discussed it.

I always enjoy the deep science behind what you write; it definitely feeds that inner nerd/geek in me.
