  Korea's Coquillard Andre Jin, top, is tackled by Japan's Chihito Matsui in their men's rugby sevens 11-12 placing match at the 2020 Summer Olympics, July 28, in Tokyo. AP-Yonhap He may not look the part at first glance, but Andre Jin Coquillard calls himself "a prototypical Korean." Born in Seoul to a Korean mother and an American father, Coquillard, a member of the South Korean Rugby sevens team at the Tokyo Olympics, is just like all other Korean athletes in one important aspect. He hates losing to Japan, South Korea's bitter sporting rival. After South Korea fell to Japan 31-19 in the 11th-12th placement match Wednesday at Tokyo Stadium, Coquillard was in tears.

  South Korea's Olympic football team head coach Kim Hak-beom sprays water onto the training pitch at the North Seaside Stadium in Kashima, Sunday. / Yonhap By John Duerden With all the soccer that has been played in the past five years, it feels like a long time since we had the 2016 Rio Olympics. It feels longer than five years since Son Heung-min cried on the field after a quarter-final loss at the hands of Honduras. South Korea will face the same Central American opposition in the third and last game of Group B and before that, there are games with Romania and, in Thursday's opener, against New Zealand, in the city of Kashima, a couple of hours outside Tokyo.
