'It’s now our fervent hope that when the Olympics comes, it will have been worth the wait,' writes cbrennansports for usatodaysports.
It’s mind-boggling to think of everything that must be done to move a Summer Olympics from one year to the next. It’s a massive undertaking that has never been done before. There have been cancellations for World War I and II and political boycotts in 1976, 1980 and 1984, but nothing like this. It involves billions of dollars, hundreds of structures and hundreds of thousands of people. It’s venues, an Olympic village, hotels, tickets, flights, spectators, organizers, the news media, everyone.
An Olympics is a sporting event, certainly, but it’s often so much more. In this way, Tokyo has been through this before. Why the 19-year-old Sakai? His age gives it away. He was born on Aug. 6, 1945, in Hiroshima, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on that city.
