The Olympics are struggling to be inclusive in terms of choosing venues and balancing what is good sense. I have no answers. Just keep hearing bad stuff re Rio. But we heard lots of bad re the Olympics in Russia and those turned out well. Putin went off the rails after, but that is another story. Strength and best wishes to the decision makers.
