Olympics-Italy basks in Tokyo Games medal glory as COVID-19 gamble pays off

TOKYO: Italy's COVID-19 gamble that allowed a small group of elite athletes to train through the pandemic when much of the world was in lockdown has paid off handsomely at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, with the country setting a new medals record.

"These were the greatest Olympics ever for Italy," Italian Olympic Committee President Giovanni Malago, whose country will host the 2032 winter Olympics, said. Tamberi was locked out of training for just two weeks in the last year and a half, and he lit up Tokyo's Olympic stadium last week on a night that saw Italy dazzle in athletics with sprinter Lamont Marcell Jacobs capturing the blue riband men's 100 metres title.
