Olympics

I think I might have found a sport I can compete in. I have had several knee surgeries, both knees, and things aren’t getting any better. So I was up late one night and came upon a sport, Olympic no less, called wheelchair curling. I have included a short Youtube video.

I will have to wait a few years until my knees are bad enough that I need a wheelchair.

Why are they Tokyo 2020, is Japan a year behind the times? I haven't been paying much attention, the hype has spoiled it for me. Golf? How is that an Olympic sport? There was even a push to include poker, gimme a break! I was glad to see the Norwegian women stand up to the old boys club at the IOC.

I know the winter and summer games were 2 years apart but Covid messed that up. Will they get back to being 2 years apart?

Only time will tell.

The Tokyo Olympics were supposed to be held in 2020. Due to the virus it was delayed a year.

They cancelled the Olympics last year and all the wording was already in place so they just kept it as originally. Just call it a slight delay.

I was with family this weekend, they had the Olympics on. Watched Dressel take his 5th Gold Medal.
