After 'difficult' year, top athletes resume chase for gold

OSTRAVA - While Christian Taylor said the past year had been "disheartening" and Joshua Cheptegei lamented a lost Olympic opportunity, they, and other top athletes, tried to find pandemic plusses on Tuesday, ahead of the Golden Spike meet.

"Positively, I would say that it is because of the pandemic that I was able to rediscover my potential." Taylor, a two-time Olympic triple jump champion and four-time world champion, said the one-year delay to the Tokyo Olympics was "disheartening". "I felt like the momentum was really towards our back," he said, adding that he would have liked to compete more against Hugues Fabrice Zango who set the indoor world record of 18.07 metres earlier this year.
