I didn’t see it as bullying. “Bullying” would imply that Dani was picking on a weaker and powerless person. Van Damme isn’t smaller weaker person. Dani was just more serious about the rivalry and Van Damme wasn’t taking part in the rivalry. Dani was more competitive, but both are elite athletes at the top of their game. I didn’t see it as bullying just one sided competition. IF he broke Van Dammes nose intentionally, that’s bad sportsmanship to be sure. But noses get broken in the course of sports all the time.
