Sailing, Judo and 3-on-3: Chi Olympics Update

It has been a week since the 2021 Summer Olympics kicked off in Tokyo, Japan. Already we’ve seen a couple of Chicago-area athletes' medals, a Tsunami scare, and the biggest gymnast in the world make an unprecedented decision to step back. Chicago Tribune reporter Stacy St. Clair has been everywhere in Tokyo from the pools to the basketball courts, to an emotional softball field covering her fourth Olympics. Well, she hasn’t been everywhere. The veteran journalist says due to COVID protocols she still can’t visit greater Tokyo or even the restaurant next door to her cozy hotel. We check back in with Stacy to hear how the Chicago-area athletes are doing, how the vibes are different without fans, and how the Olympic’s biggest star is speaking up for mental health on the world stage.
