A note to readers

Sport is a diversion and a small pleasure in our daily lives. The Olympics and the Olympic Trials are spectacles for our enjoyment. In the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic it is difficult to carry on in a business-as-usual fashion.
Countdown to the Trials would like to stay focused on what we do, inform and entertain about the lives, events, and athletes who live to compete in the Olympics.
Athletes are no different than anyone else and the uncertainties of what is happening is stressful. Most will keep training and remain committed to what they can control and not lose their edge. Athletes are good at that.
Until bigger decisions are made, they must and will continue as if both the Trials and The Olympics are to be held as scheduled. There is no other option.
It is in that spirit with which we will continue our Countdown to The Trials at a later date.
