Bolt's 100m crown at play as Dressel seeks to swell Olympic title haul - Punch Newspapers

The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

Usain Bolt’s men’s 100m crown will have a new owner at the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday as Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama targets golfing gold and US swimmer Caeleb Dressel aims for two more titles.

The pandemic-postponed 2020 Games are the first since Athens 2004 to be held without Jamaican sprint king Bolt, who retired in 2017 with the past three 100m and 200m titles, in Beijing, London and Rio. The women’s triple jump final focus falls on Venezuela’s Yulimar Rojas, who has brought joy to her troubled nation with back-to-back world titles.

In the men’s high jump Qatar’s two-time world champion Mutaz Barshim seeks to shine after making the podium in the past two Olympics.
