The Tokyo Olympics crowned a number of new champions who announced themselves on the world stage. Here are some of the breakout stars:Italy’s Jacobs produced arguably the shock result of the Olympics – and one of the biggest shocks in Olympic history — when he claimed victory in the 100m, storming out of athletics obscurity to take gold in a time of 9.80sec.
The 24-year-old had already won silver in the 100m and threatened Denmark’s Rikke Moller Pedersen’s 200m world benchmark in the heats, joking she wished her fingernails were just a bit longer. The South African gave a surprised scream when she saw her time on the board, promptly bursting onto tears and sharing a group hug with her competitors.The absence of 2012 and 2016 champion Kohei Uchimura – plagued by shoulder problems — cast a long shadow over the men’s all-around gymnastics competition.
