Sure, but Olympics is far more important than the Worlds outside of Cycling at National level. Afterall in Slovenia the most popular sports are Football, basketball, volleyball, ice hockey, and handball before cycling.
The ability to hit such form is not a guarantee in 4 years as we saw with Froome, Bernal, Dumoulin, Roglic etc one day you are at the top 12 months later out of the game completely not looking like ever returning. The sports marginal gains is moving so fast now and physiological and psychological level so demanding, you won't have a career that will be peaking across more than 2 Olympic cycles / Gold medal chances.
