The Olympics are scheduled to open on July 23, 2021, with 11,000 athletes.
This is a huge mistake.
Tokyo organizers have said both events will happen, but they have yet to provide details on how athletes will be safe, whether fans will be allowed, and who will pick up the bill for the delay. Estimates suggest the cost of delay will be between $2 billion and $6 billion, with Japanese taxpayers picking up most of the bill.
Good grief.

That's great, but I thought it was a wedding ceremony, not a fashion show.

Take a closer look.... there is so much more to a headline.

Good for them! Paralympians are far more inspiring than regular Olympians, in my opinion.
