TOKYO — The Lodge in Reno, Nev., will sell you a cup of coffee for $3-5, a glass of wine for $8-12, and a variety of food items from $8-22. The place has a patio that offers live music and views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. And if you ate or drank there in 2020, there is a chance that the waiter who served you is currently wearing an Olympic gold medal here.
“Still a little speechless on that,” says Bowe Becker, even with the evidence hanging around his neck at the Tokyo Aquatics Center Monday afternoon.
You can’t really blame Becker for failing to find the words to describe his path to this precious present.
