July 24 2021 - The 2020 Olympics that occurred in 2021

 

Do you find it strange to see 2020 as the year of the Olympics? How will it be referenced in the future?  Something like: The 2020 Olympics which occurred in 2021?

Here's something that is interesting and unusual about the Olympics:

"The wood used to make the logo is special. Turns out, during 1964 Olympics, athletes from across the world brought seeds from their countries and the wood is taken from the trees that grew from them.

The wood came from 160 pines and spruces grown from seeds that came from Northern Europe, Canada and Ireland.

They were constructed in the traditional Japanese woodworking style of Yosegi-Zaiku — a marquetry technique that dates back to Japan’s Edo period and uses different grains, colors and textures of wood to make mosaic designs."


Here's a Foxglove today.
