Summer Olympics in Tokyo..finally

[JustBonee]

"The chief of the Tokyo 2020 organising committee on Tuesday did not rule out cancelling the Olympics if COVID-19 cases spiked, as more athletes tested positive for the virus and sponsors ditched plans to attend Friday's opening ceremony."

Sounds like more troubles ahead, as they try to scramble for solutions to the growing number of cases.

Lost respect and desire for the Olympics/athletes decades ago seeing the ped use detected and undetected. They the IOC/Europe were already sending psuedo pro athletes for decades. Then realizing what these host cities must endure one realizes it's a business and this is their product.

I always enjoy the Olympics. But this year has been kind of a downer with all the politics, gender identity and COVID-19.

What was your favorite event or events?

Much to my own surprise, I spent quite a bit of time watching synchro & rhythmic gymnastics. Greatly enjoyed dressage and the men's wrestling. Loved to see two of my local heroes earn Gold:


Suni Lee (gymnastics):

Gable Steveson (wrestling):
