Sydney McLaughlin subs in to run the 4x400 relay final and runs a 48.8 split, faster than any other woman in an event that isn't even hers.

Lol she is the future GOAT.

Looking forward to the Olympics next year and the worlds in 2021

Just hope it's not at ridiculous times with the time zones.

New Pole Vault WR.



The first angle doesn't quite do it justice but the replays show just how huge and insane It was. Guy is a beast.

I fear the Olympics will be cancelled which would mean no Sydney<3.

There are major athletics competitions planned for 2021 so it'll be difficult to move it to then. It would probably have to be 2022. But then you have the Olympic village that has been built. No doubt all of those flats etc. will already have buyers lined up. The rest of the infrastructure in the region will also have been ramped up temporarily to cope with the extra people.

It will be really difficult to arrange a postponement.

Olympics have been postponed.

They don't know when they will be rescheduled for.

About time.

Tokyo and the IOC should set a tentative date for sometime in early-mid August 2021.

Cancel it. Have it in 2024. And whoever had it in 2024 can have it in 2028. No idea if they've named a 2028 host, of so then they can have it in 2032. If not then no problem and we go on after that

Paris 2024
Los Angeles 2028
no one so far for 2032

They could also go back to having the summer and winter Olympics the same years. I was born after 1992 so never got to experience that.
