Emma John Covid. No spectators. And yet Tokyo is not an absurd sideshow – it has only increased the awe we feel for the competitors Bethany Shriever, who won BMX women’s gold, and Kye Whyte, who took silver in the BMX men’s event, celebrate in Tokyo. Photograph: Naoki Morita/Shutterstock Bethany Shriever, who won BMX women’s gold, and Kye Whyte, who took silver in the BMX men’s event, celebrate in Tokyo. Photograph: Naoki Morita/Shutterstock Sun 1 Aug 2021 02.00 EDT What’s been the image of the Games for you so far? Is it Adam Peaty, smacking the water with an explosive mix of adrenaline and relief after taking the breaststroke gold that is his by right? Bethany Shriever, moments after winning her BMX final, struggling to sit upright on the track because she can’t feel her legs? Or perhaps it’s Tom Daley, leaping into the arms of his synchro partner, Matty Lee – an Olympic champion at last, 13 years after we watched the cute-kid version of himself debut in Beijing? Memorable moments all and yet the sight that’s going to stay with me, from this first week at least, is that of taekwondo world champion Bianca Walkden face down on the sparring mat. Walkden’s just been through the battle of her life against South Korean Lee Da-bin. She’s come within a hair’s breadth of disqualification, seen two video replay decisions go against her and then, having clawed her way back into the lead, her opponent has kicked her in the head at the very last second and stolen her spot in the final. Laura Muir’s journey: from chasing lambs to racing for Tokyo 1500m gold Read more Walkden lies still, eyes open, not hurt, just finished. It is not always easy to connect with the world’s greatest athletes, especially when they are performing in a distant time zone and they have achieved a variety of impossible things before you have even had your breakfast. But I see this woman half-spilling out of the octagon and I can read her thoughts. She’s wondering why she should bother to pick herself up, whether there’s any point. She might have been reigning world champion for the past six years, but right now she’s not sure who she is at all. That picture summed up the feel of these pandemic Olympics just as powerfully as the opening ceremony’s blend of ethereal angst and minimalist restraint. London ’48 gave us the “Austerity Games”; Melbourne ’56 were the “Friendly Games”; these are the Existential Games, the What-Are-We- Even-All-Doing-Here? Games. They’re the Games we aren’t expected to care about, the Games that perhaps shouldn’t be happening. And they are offering a very different perspective on sport to the jingoistic one that Brits have become used to over the past decade. Not that Team GB isn’t winning medals, of course. Magic Monday triggered the hoped-for gold rush, and while Britain doesn’t rule the waves on the rowing lake any more, it established a new sovereignty in the pool. But, for once, that doesn’t seem the be-all. Because after the 16 months we’ve all just lived through, it’s only natural to find oneself watching with an increased empathy and admiration for every competitor, wherever they finish. What we see, in our sportspeople, are the same struggles and frustrations and heartbreak we’ve all been facing In the pre-Covid age of Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt and Simone Biles, we focused our amazement on the superhuman abilities of these 21st-century athletes. But now we’re in a world where nothing is normal, where illusions have been stripped away. Some of the defining stories from these Games will not be those of crowning triumph, but of surprise withdrawals and defeats – of Dina Asher-Smith, of Naomi Osaka, of Biles herself. It can be just as inspiring, in these circumstances, to watch someone finish third, fourth or nowhere. Even silver medals, traditionally the worst colour to win, have gleamed unusually bright in Tokyo. Before they took gold in the triathlon mixed relay, Alex Yee and Georgia Taylor-Brown were both delighted with their second places in the men’s and women’s events respectively, having each overcome unexpected obstacles – a spectacular false start for Yee, a flat tyre for Taylor-Brown. Shortly after Taylor-Brown crossed the line, having overhauled three rivals in the final run, the cameras caught her cheerfully explaining her unexpected appearance to winner Flora Duffy. It has been a peculiar privilege of these crowd-free Games to witness some absorbingly intimate moments between teammates and rivals. Vacant arenas, stand-less grounds and empty streets might be anathema to our TV screens, but they’re not that unusual to the Olympians who, after all, spend most of their time training in front of no one at all. And while the stadiums and swimming pool may be empty, they have not been quiet. They have resounded with the cheers and screams of room-mates urging each other on. Praise and pain in another day of drama for Team GB’s young squad Read more Stripped of their pageantry and paraphernalia, these have truly been the athletes’ Games. After the French judoka Clarisse Agbégnénou defeated her long-time Slovenian rival Tina Trstenjak, the latter having beaten Agbégnénou to gold in 2016, the pair embraced like best friends who had been separated since the start of lockdown. When Colombian Mariana Pajón lost her Olympic crown to Shriever, we saw her shattered by the side of the track; minutes later, she was camera-bombing Shriever’s interview with the Beeb. The pandemic has offered us a timely and important perspective on sport. And not, perhaps, the same one that the International Olympic Committee is keen to offer, where billions of dollars are invested in a pop-up circus in a virus-ravaged city in the name of world peace. But one in which sport can be vastly entertaining and utterly inspiring – and ultimately unimportant. Where it matters most of all to the people who do it, not the people who pay for it. Magic Monday may not have triggered a golden avalanche, and Britain’s rowers may no longer rule the waves, but that’s OK, because after the 16 months we’ve all had, we’re not here for the baubles. What we see in our sportspeople are the same struggles and frustrations and heartbreak we’ve all been facing. What we find at these Games is sympathy, as we all strive towards the best that we can do, for now. Walkden, by the way, picked herself off the mat. She came back and took bronze in her final match. “I just hope that the kids watching me can realise it’s not about the colour,” she said. “It’s about giving your heart and soul and then being able to come out with your head held high.” Emma John’s most recent book is Self-Contained: Scenes from a Single Life This article was downloaded by calibre from https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/aug/01/damned-as-unwanted-games-how- did-olympics-steal-our-hearts | Section menu | Main menu | | Next | Section menu | Main menu | Previous | Skip to main content Skip to navigation Advertisement US edition US edition UK edition Australian edition International edition The Guardian - Back to home Search jobs Sign inSearch News Opinion Sport Culture Lifestyle ShowMoreShow More News US news World news Environment Soccer US politics Business Tech Science Newsletters Green light Opinion The Guardian view Columnists Letters Opinion videos Cartoons

  • Democratic Audit: What Does Boris Johnson's Political Record Tell Us
    Democratic Audit: What does Boris Johnson’s political record tell us about his prospects as Prime Minister? Page 1 of 3 What does Boris Johnson’s political record tell us about his prospects as Prime Minister? As Conservative MPs whittle the contest to be next leader of the party – and so next Prime Minister – down to a final two who will face the party membership, Ben Worthy assesses the record of the clear frontrunner, Boris Johnson, and what his time as London Mayor and Foreign Secretary indicate about his aptitude for the top job. Boris Johnson speaking to Foreign Office staff, 14 July 2016. Picture: Foreign and Commonwealth Office/ (CC BY 2.0) licence ‘Prime Minister Boris Johnson’: I know, as I write those words, what you have all just thought, said or shouted aloud. His performance in the five-way BBC debate filled no one with confidence. But we need to take care with our snap judgements. Many Prime Ministers were viewed very differently before their arrival in power. Churchill was seen as a reckless war-monger, and Thatcher a temporary female stop-gap. Remember too that Theresa May, and before her Gordon Brown, were to be diligent, strong, decisive leaders. Clement Attlee’s limerick about his own life says it all. To measure leaders, we need to understand both the person and the context. To take the person of ‘Boris’ first, Johnson’s own time in high office leaves us with some pretty mixed messages as to how he would be in Number 10. As Rafael Behr points out, we have a selection of different Boris’s to choose from.

  • Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture's Showman
    Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture’s Showman His giant new structure aims to be an Eiffel Tower for New York. Is it genius or folly? February 26, 2018 | By IAN PARKER Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling him- self, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?” Ross was in a meeting room at the Time Warner Center, which his company, Related, built and partly owns, and where he lives and works. We had a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The room was filled with models of Hudson Yards, which is a mile and a half southwest, between Thirtieth and Thirty-third Streets, and between Tenth Avenue and the West Side Highway. There, Related and its partner, Oxford Properties Group, are partway through erecting the complex, which includes residential space, office space, and a mall—with such stores as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Urban Decay, and a Thomas Keller restaurant designed to evoke “Mad Men”—most of it on a platform built over active rail lines.

  • 1 Rebels As Local Leaders?
    Rebels as local leaders? The Mayoralties of Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson Compared Ben Worthy Mark Bennister The Mayoralty of London offers a powerful electoral platform but weak powers to lead a city regarded as ‘ungovernable’ (Travers 2004). This paper adapts the criteria of Hambleton and Sweeting (2004) to look at the first two Mayors’ mandate and vision, style of leadership and policies. Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson were both party rebels, mavericks and skilled media operators. However, their differences are key. As mayor, Livingstone had a powerful vision that translated into a set of clear policy aims while Johnson had a weaker more cautious approach shaped by his desire for higher office. Livingstone built coalitions but proved divisive whereas Johnson was remarkably popular. While Livingstone bought experience and skill, Johnson delegated detail to others. Both their mayoralties courted controversy and faced charges of corruption and cronyism. Both mayors used publicity to make up for weak powers. They also found themselves pushed by their powers towards transport and planning while struggling with deeper issues such as housing. In policy terms Livingstone pushed ahead with the radical congestion charge and a series of symbolic policies. Johnson was far more modest, championing cycling and revelling in the 2012 Olympics while avoiding difficult decisions. The two mayors used their office to negotiate but also challenge central government. Livingstone’s Mayoralty was a platform for personalised change-Johnson’s one for personal ambition. Directly Elected Mayors were introduced to provide local leadership, accountability and vision to UK local government. Beginning under New Labour and continued under the Coalition and Conservatives, directly elected mayors were offered initially by referendum, and later imposed, up and down the country beginning with London 2000 and then in 16 cities and towns including Bristol and Liverpool.

  • February 2018
    February 2018 Dear Friends, On 14th February, St Valentine’s Day. Lent starts with Ash Wednesday. As I have said many times before I am not a great fan of ‘giving up things for Lent’- like sweets chocolates etc. Instead I am much keener on ‘taking something up’ positively for Lent- and the Church of England has a website called “Live Lent” where some good ideas on how to make a positive difference in lent can be found – its tagline this lent is “let your light shine.” However, one thing that I am shocked about in our public discourse is the lack of respect shown in our media, and especially our social media, towards people who happen to have a different view. The former “The Apprentice winner and now TV pundit Michelle Dewberry was appalled by the language used on both sides of the Brexit/Remain debate and said recently on Twitter: “I've said it before & I'll say it again...I despair the way so many people lack the ability to RESPECTFULLY disagree. It is OK for people to have a different view. Why attack/silence when that happens? Not everybody needs to think the same way. Life would be boring if we did.” I heartily agree with this and I echo the atheist philosopher Voltaire when he said: "I may not agree with what you are saying, but I will defend with my life your right to say it". It is my view that our true character is shown, not just in the acts of kindness that we do, everyone can come over as benevolent when they are doing something charitable, but also in the way we handle disagreement and conflict.

  • Gender Critical at Work – Media Compilation
    GENDER CRITICAL AT WORK Search MENU tuesday march 30 2021 Linda Bellos had said she would be ‘publicly questioning’ some transgender politics ROGER ASKEW Linda Bellos barred in Cambridge University row James Gillespie and Sian Griffiths Sunday October 01 2017, 12.01am, The Sunday Times Share Save A leading feminist has had an invitation to speak at Cambridge University withdrawn amid concerns that transgender activists could oppose her. Linda Bellos had been invited by the Beard Society at Peterhouse College and sent a list of dates — which were withdrawn after she said she would be “publicly questioning some of the trans politics . which seems to assert the power of those who were previously designated male to tell lesbians, and especially lesbian feminists, what to say and think”. Ailish Maroof, the co-president of the society, which describes itself as a “gender and feminism” group, replied: “I’m sorry but we’ve decided not to host you. I too believe in freedom of expression, however Peterhouse is as much a home as it is a college. The welfare of our students in this instance has to come first.” The prospect of laws to let men redefine their gender without a physical transition and then gain access to changing rooms and women’s refuges has angered many. “I’m not being told by someone who a few months ago was a man what I as a woman can or cannot do,” Bellos said. Maroof declined to comment.
