That makes sense for a sport that will hand out medals in a whopping 35 different pool events at the Tokyo Olympics. Hosszú says the Hungarians' medley success can be attributed to work ethic. She adds that "we are very stubborn and very much hard-working and we can just grind it out.” (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini, File)

Private, touching moment between loved ones won't be happening at the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Olympics. No spectators — local or foreign — will be allowed at the majority of venues, where athletes will hang medals around their own necks to protect against spreading the coronavirus. No handshakes or hugs on the podium, either.(AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez, File)
