The Olympiad


If we can turn away from the 2020 political fervor for a moment, let's remember 2020 is also an Olympic year - this time in Tokyo, Japan. I just read where they want to add break-dancing as a competitive sport. That one has my head spinning!
Last winter they gave us "curling" in prime time - a "sport" where opponents wield brooms. We were also asked to stay awake for the badminton matches, noted for their dexterity and wrist movement. Don't be surprised if someone lobbies for "darts" - that would clear out all the pubs. Somehow, I don't think this is what the Greeks had in mind.

  1. Can you tell a curling replay from "live action?" If you can, you've been watching way more than I have.
