If there are two things we should be able to rely on as great equalisers, it’s music and sports. With the Paris Olympics we’ve been able to take a (very short) break from the shitshow that’s going on around the world. Still nice to see all this camaraderie and healthy competition between nations.
In the past century, the Summer Olympics have gone on with the exception of 1940 and 1944 for obvious reasons. In 1948, London was called upon at the last minute to host as we saw that the world was ready to get back into the spirit of competition despite some of the darkest years in history.
