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.
