Postponement of Tokyo 2020
I knew this had to happen. Just wondered how long it would take them to make it official.
2020 Tokyo Olympics officially postponed due to coronavirus outbreak
It is the first time in modern Olympic history that a global health issue has disrupted the Games.
While the Olympics have previously been canceled during periods of war, and complicated by boycotts, this is the first time they have ever been suspended.
Organizers said the Olympic flame will stay in Japan during the delay, and the Games will also continue to officially be called "Tokyo 2020," even as they move to 2021.
I really feel for those athletes who were going to use the 2020 Olympics as their final competition before retirement. Will they postpone? Or will they just ride into the sunset?
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

p.s. found these 2 funnies online and just felt for some reason like they needed shared here. Maybe to interject a little humor into this sad situation.
