In search of gold: The Hindu Editorial on Tokyo Olympics 2021

The Hindu  

A medal can lose its lustre but the athlete’s sporting immortality is set in stone, such is the enduring allure of triumphs at the Olympics. ‘Tokyo 2020’, as the Olympics is branded for the latest edition, will commence at Japan’s capital on Friday while COVID-19 protocols are in place. Having previously hosted the Olympics in 1964, Tokyo’s second dalliance with the premier championship has been extremely tough. India’s initial share came from hockey but even that tap has run dry since the gold at Moscow in 1980. An Olympic medal offers sporting nirvana; even tennis legend Serbian Novak Djokovic is not immune to its charm.
