won everything it was possible to win中形式主语可以去掉吗

待讨论的句子:

But even though he had won everything it was possible to win in his sport, Li Ning retired with the feeling that he had failed.

来源: 外研社高中必修五课文

问题:

加粗部分有个it，it前应该省略了一个关系词that，it此时作为形式主语，即指to win everything那么问题来了。

[1]But even though he had won everything that it was possible to win in his sport, Li Ning retired with the feeling that he had failed.

[2]But even though he had won everything that was possible to win in his sport, Li Ning retired with the feeling that he had failed.

如果不使用形式主语，如[2]，和[1]这种写法有什么区别(语义语用)？(或者说作者为何偏偏要用一个形式主语呢)

句2是错误的。如果删去it，则that（指代everything）就成了不定式to win逻辑上的宾语了。换句话说to win不再是真正主语，而成了possible的补足语，to win的逻辑宾语为从句的主语，to win就是反射不定式。问题是possible作表语，其后的不定式不允许反射不定式，所以句子为错误。必须保留形式主语it，让不定式to win作真正主语，that为to win的宾语。（impossible后的补足语可以是反射不定式，但possible不可以。）
