With covid still in our midst, the question has been posed so what about the Olympics?
With less than 30 days before the games are scheduled to begin, Team USA for multiple sporting events are being finalized. Notable athletes such as Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Simone Manuel, and Sha’Carri Richardson have already punched their ticket to Tokyo.
I am super excited for what these ladies will do. As we often hear, I am rooting for everybody black! lol I am honestly. I really want us to dominate and represent USA well. My only thought however, with surge of covid rising in Japan, will the United States and other countries allow their athletes to travel. I understand wearing a mask and being vaccinated but with uncertainty of the transmittal of the virus is it really worth the risk? My thought was to still keep the games going but maybe from everyone’s respective countries which sounds INSANE to do. With the advancement of technology and keeping track of time, I don’t know how doable it could be but it could be worth a try to keep athletes and their families safe. Let me know what you think? If you had just made your first olympics are you going or are you giving up your spot?
Although an official decision to postpone the games again has not been made, I am sure behind the scenes the covid numbers/cases are being closely monitored. I know the amount of money already lost is a big reason as to why the games may just go one as scheduled with empty arenas etc. As we get closer to the July 23 start date, I’m sure more insight on the Olympics will become available. I am super excited to be able to cheer on some of my favorite athletes this summer 🙂
I appreciate you for reading!
