With the outbreak of the lethal Coronavirus pandemic, the world has come to a global LOCKDOWN and almost all regular activities have come to an unusual halt.
With that being said, the Olympics, the much-awaited global sports event that was scheduled to take place in Tokyo in 2020 has been postponed to 22nd May 2021 due to the rising severity of the deadly pandemic, making it the first Olympics games to be postponed in history. Postponing the Olympics games isn’t the most desirable option, but it certainly is preferred over the cancelation of the Olympics as a whole.
Although this may come as a shock to us as an audience of spectators, we must divert this spotlight to the athletes, who have worked tirelessly for months, years and decades putting in all their blood, sweat and tears with the idea of the games in mind, only for the Olympics Games to be possibly cancelled due to the life- threatening pandemic.
The Olympics games are not just a sports event; it’s every sportsperson’s dream sports event. It’s one that gives you sense of responsibility being a representative of your country, a sense of recognition being loved and supported by millions, and a sense of achievement unlike any other you’ve experienced before.
With the heartbreaking news of the probable cancelation of the Olympics games, this brings great sorrow and agony to the athletes and coaches who have been consistently putting in their all to succeed in these prestigious games. On the bright side however, the cancelation of these games is not inevitable and there still is a slight probability of conducting the games, but later when the severity of the virus lowers and the governments all around the world take the brave decision of putting an end to their respective country’s lockdowns.
If this Coronavirus pandemic has taught us anything at all, it is to constantly be hopeful for a brighter tomorrow for there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
