With every major milestone comes that extra surge of excitement and anticipation for the rescheduled Olympic Games, for which there are now just 100 days to go.
On 23 July the spotlight will be on Tokyo s Olympic Stadium as it hosts the opening ceremony and one week later the world’s best track and field athletes will descend on the rebuilt venue of the 1964 Games as athletics action gets under way.
More than half a century ago, when Tokyo last hosted the Olympics, the stadium was the place where New Zealand’s Peter Snell tore up the track to achieve his 800m and 1500m double, Tamara Press of the Soviet Union took two titles in the shot put and discus, Britain’s Ann Packer sprang a surprise to win 800m gold in a world record and Bob Hayes equalled the world record to win the 100m.

CIB Black Ball Open SF: Farag Downs Asal to Reach Final
News
Egypt’s World No.1 Ali Farag is through to the CIB Black Ball Open final after beating World No.14 Mostafa Asal 11-8, 11-5, 11-5 at the PSA World Tour Gold event.
The last meeting between the pair came just two months ago where Farag took the victory in four games and the World No.1 was on his metal once again to dispatch his compatriot, who had already recorded two upsets against World No.4 Paul Coll and World No.10 Miguel Rodriguez earlier in the week.
19-year-old Asal started well, displaying his explosive style of play as he hit a number of winners, but Farag remained patient and applied his game plan well to not trade blows and was rewarded with a high number of unforced errors from Asal.
