Olympic Glow

This Olympics and the athletes may be rated differently than other Olympics.

The sports stadiums were almost empty.
Each competitor marched in with a brave strained face.
With memories of endless hours practicing all had to agree.
Making the team for the Olympics was something to embrace
Will this Olympic dream be as good as other times?
Will the pandemic take away this year's glow?
Some athletes who competed were in their prime.
Their pride and victory was won in the lovely city of Tokyo.
