Erica Wiebe says her path to becoming an Olympic champion wrestler has taught her how to roll with the punches. She s using that mindset to prepare for a Tokyo Olympics that will look much different than what she originally anticipated.
Wiebe was one of four wrestlers nominated to Canada s Olympic team Wednesday, along with Danielle Lappage, Amar Dhesi and Jordan Steen.

Before the vaccine roll-out, I was quite worried from a global standpoint, the Olympics are bringing in thousands and thousands of people, and it looked like it was going to be a COVID petri dish, said Erica Gavel, a member of Canada s women s wheelchair basketball team. Now it looks like things are moving in the right direction, to say the least.
The Canadian Olympic Committee said it believes it will have access to donated vaccine doses from Pfizer and BioNTech as part of an IOC initiative. Delivery of doses is set to begin this month to give Olympic delegations time to be fully vaccinated with a second shot before arriving in Tokyo for the Games, which open on July 23.
