Stars and Stripes - Billy Mills: Pride of a Marine, heart of a warrior

Billy Mills: Pride of a Marine, heart of a warrior by Billy Mills (Matt Liddi / S&S file photo) WASHINGTON As the 20th century draws to a close, people are taking the time to reflect on world events in the past 100 years and the people who shaped those occurrences. In the sphere of sports, the discussion inevitably centers on athletes. Who was the greatest baseball player of the century: Ruth? Mantle? Mays? How about the greatest quarterback: Montana? Marino? Unitas? The greatest hockey player: Gretzky? Howe? Orr? But even more than the athletes, the essence of sports’ impact on the human experience is captured in their great moments.

Juegos Olímpicos Tokio 2021: La reina Biles y su corte emergen como grandes estrellas de estos Juegos

En 1964, apenas 19 años después de hincar la rodilla frente al gigante americano en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Japón organizó unos históricos Juegos que sirvieron, entre otras cosas, para mostrar una imagen de modernidad que asombró al mundo. El olimpismo llegaba así a un nuevo continente y, de paso, ampliaba su predicamento gracias a las nuevas tecnologías. Syncom 3, el primer satélite geoestacionario del mundo, permitió que 600 millones de personas descubrieran un país que, preservando una milenaria cultura que, por ejemplo, tuvo hasta la II Guerra Mundial a un emperador con el rango de dios, se alejaba del exotismo de postal que Occidente llevaba siglos vendiendo.
