The first thing is: Is it even going to happen? I say YES because I have faith that Donald Trump will find a cure for the coronavirus because he is so smart and kind and cares so much about people around the world. So now we only have to think about all the fun that's going to happen. Here's something . . . it's a story about the youngest Olympic athlete to compete in the 2020 Games. It's Hend Zaza https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/06/sport/hend-zaza-11-year-old-table-tennis-olympics-spt-intl/index.html
At this point both the swimming and the track and field reps have asked for the Tokyo Games to be postponed. These athletes have small windows of optimal performance and there's a lot of money on the table. But who would go? Not me. You could give me one of those Willy Wonka Golden Tickets for an all expense paid trip and I'm still not going. https://www.cbssports.com/olympics/news/coronavirus-usa-track-and-field-joins-usa-swimming-by-calling-for-2020-tokyo-olympics-to-be-postponed/

I love track and field. Mostly the track part. Some field events interest me, primarily the pole vault but mostly I like the running. Every event has it's own demands, challenges and strategies. It is, I think, the simplest and purest sport.
Love love track and field. Ran in high school and college. Obviously I am partial to the 5 and 10,000 meter runs, because that is what I ran in college
Those who are especially disappointed in the loss of the Tokyo Olympics might want to consider a sport that is gaining in popularity, marble racing https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/a-guide-to-marble-racing-the-sport-that-has-exploded-while-we-have-no-other-sports-to-watch/ar-BB11H170
