Lisa Thomaidis and her basketball team are getting ready for a sporting event that will be like no other.
The 2020 Summer Olympic Games games were supposed to be held last summer in Tokyo, but they were postponed due to the pandemic.
The games are now scheduled to run from July 23 to Aug. 8. If all goes as planned, it will be the first Olympic games in more than 100 years to take place during a pandemic. The other happened in 1920 near the end of the Spanish Flu in Belgium.
How many messages? Too many. Too many, Pellington said with a laugh. I might have to put out a general (message): Thanks guys, I m going to get back to you.

The 21-year-old guard had 15 points, seven rebounds and three steals in 30 minutes off the bench in the Arizona Wildcats 54-53 loss to Stanford.
With the sting of a narrow defeat wearing off, the tournament is in ways a big win both for Pellington, who played this season after sitting out 550 days between college appearances, and for women s basketball in general.
