Olympic tears of joy
Every Olympic Games sees a fair share of tears shed, but this year has been especially emotional -- especially for the champions. There is no shortage of hardships in a normal cycle for Olympic greats, but for the pandemic-delayed Tokyo games athletes have also battled through tropical storms, the summer heat and the deafening silence of empty stands. pg
Perhaps it is this combination, along with the realization of so much training and hard work, that has brought tears to the eyes of so many of the games' champions.
