That was the headline in The the day after the infamous South African rugby tour opener at Rugby Park on July 22, 1981. Tomorrow marks 40 years since that controversial match of a tour that divided a nation. Protesters are pictured heading across Gisborne Park Golf Club towards Rugby Park and spectators unaware of what was behind them. The confrontational scenes that followed are etched in Gisborne history. Among the protesters was Gisborne’s HART (Halt All Racist Tours) leader Laurie Harrison who is pictured with a copy of The Herald the day after. The Herald spoke with Mr Harrison about the day and how the country has changed since then.

Activism makes comeback Court of Arbitration for Sport expected to come into play OLYMPICS by Graham Dunbar, AP TOKYO — Athlete activism is making a comeback at these Olympic Games. When play starts at the Tokyo Games today, acts of free expression of the kind athletes were long banned from making at the Olympics will take centre stage. The British women’s football team have pledged to take a knee before kick-off against Chile in their Olympic tournament opener in Sapporo, to show support for racial justice. “We want to show to everyone this is something serious,” Britain defender Demi Stokes said. “What a way to do it, on an Olympic stage.” One hour later in Tokyo, the United States and Sweden should follow in a gesture recognised globally since the death of George Floyd 14 months ago. The England and Italy men’s teams took a knee before the European Championship final this month. What is common in modern football starts a new era for Olympic athletes more than 50 years after the raised black-gloved fists of American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos in Mexico City made them icons and pariahs. Still, it is a limited freedom allowed by the International Olympic Committee, which just this month eased its longstanding ban on all athlete protest inside the Games field of play. The change followed two reviews in 18 months by the IOC’s own athletes commission which advised against it. Gestures are now allowed before races and games start, on the field, and at the start line. Medal podiums remain off limits for SPORTING GESTURE: The players take a knee before the Euro 2020 football championship final between England and Italy at protest, and even the IOC concessions left Wembley stadium in London this week.

The Tokyo Olympics have already broken new ground because of the 12-month delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic, pushing it into an odd-numbered year for the first time. But with no fans permitted in Japan, foreign or local, it has the distinction of being the first Games without spectators. “We’re in uncharted territory,” said Steve Wilson, former president of the Olympic Journalists Association. He covered the Olympic movement for The Associated Press for nearly three decades until 2017. “These will be Games without the carnival atmosphere, celebration and fun that we’ve come to expect and look forward to,” he said. “Definitely one for the history books.” There have been many other unusual editions of the Olympics in the past, however.
