Olympics 2021: Tokyo Games again show what the Olympics are all about

If ever there is a new motto created for the Olympic Games, one could make a very strong case for it being, "That's what the Olympics are all about."

Just look at these Tokyo Games. Over the past three weeks, we have heard "That's what the Olympics are all about" used in reference to feats of incredible athletic prowess, like when Suni Lee soared in the gymnastics all-around, or when Sifan Hassan, the Dutch runner, tripped and fell on the last lap of her qualifying heat for the 1,500 meters only to get up, stage an eye-popping comeback, win the heat and then go on to take gold in the final.
