TOKYO (Reuters) - Empty stands and a year-long wait for the Tokyo Games have done little to dampen enthusiasm among America's top track and field athletes, who told reporters on Thursday they were adapting to the challenges of competing amid the pandemic.
"Whatever it takes, they're going to throw at us, (I'm) just excited to be able to compete again and just follow what... they think is best for us," said Clayton Murphy, who picked up bronze in the men's 800 metres at the Rio Games, the first time the United States medalled in the event since 1992.
