Not about the money: National pride gets the best out of stars
Hindustan TimesKolkata: Sergio Camello taking off his shirt in celebration and Fermin Lopez terming the summer “unbeatable”, Scottie Scheffler’s tears of joy and those from Novak Djokovic told a story. Men’s international football picks the best through continental championships – following their 5-3 win against France, Spain’s Alex Baena and Lopez became the first since France’s Albert Rust in 1984 to have won the European championship and the Olympic gold in the same year – and the World Cup. Back in Olympics in 2016 after a 112-year wait, the men’s golf gold went to Scheffler who then got $37,500 as reward from the US Olympic and Paralympics Committee for four days of work. Which was what Carlos Alcaraz said as well after losing a slugfest of a men’s tennis final to Djokovic at Roland Garros.
