The Tokyo Olympics will begin next week in the face of unprecedented adversity, featuring athletes determined to make the most of their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture glory on the biggest stage. On Sunday, the Los Angeles Times will deliver subscribers a guide to the Tokyo Olympics, the most unique Games in history. Australian muralist Kevin Gold crafted the preview section cover art celebrating the twin dominance of Americans Katie Ledecky and Simone Biles. We also highlight how Southern California has heavily influenced the Tokyo Olympics, from giving birth to new sports surfing and skateboarding to producing 70 Southland Olympians. This comprehensive preview, your passport to the Tokyo Olympics, will be delivered exclusively to Times print edition subscribers, with no copies available in Southern California retail locations.
