Calgary voted no. Good sense, my Albertan brothers & sisters.

The gossip mill is going crazy about the 2021 Olympics. I decide to make a poll.

# Will the 2021 Tokyo Olympics be cancelled?

The 2022 games are in Beijing. The 2024 games are in Paris. 2026 is in Milan. 2028 is in Los Angeles. Unless they’re going to do two summer games in a row in 2023 and 2024, or double up with a winter and summer games in 2022, it’s now or never. My guess is never.

Even though my guess is never, I still hold out some hope. F1 put on an amazingly good season in 2020 and I never thought that would be possible.

If they have it, it won’t have any fans. Might as well cancel it. It’s been cancelled over the years for various reasons. Either that or they could have it and only have Japan compete, but it won’t be much fun with only 1 country competing.

A year late and with no foreign spectators, but the Japanese aren’t giving up.

Social distancing is necessary during a pandemic.

Yes. I’m not knocking them. It’s going to be strange, though.

Everything about this pandemic is strange. Maybe it will eventually go away.
