On the eve of the Tokyo Games, it’s clear that just arriving at this point for some of the world’s greatest athletes was more of a mental-health challenge than it was a physical one.

FILE - In this Aug. 2, 2019, file photo, Ingrit Valencia, right, of Colombia and Virginia Fuchs, of the United States compete in the women's flyweight boxing final bout at the Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. U.S. Olympic team boxer Fuchs will face no punishment for failing a doping test after the U.S. Anti-Doping Association determined the violation had been caused by two substances transmitted by her boyfriend through sex. USADA announced its ruling Thursday, June 11, 2020, clearing the 32-year-old Fuchs, who intends to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics next year as a flyweight. (AP Photo/Martin Mejia, File)
