The world’s top amateur athletes have had to face the disappointment of seeing the 2020 Summer Olympic Games cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the Games to have kicked off on July 23, Canadian Olympian Tessa Virtue took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a message of encouragement to athletes throughout the globe who, in other circumstances, would be preparing to compete on the world stage.
“It’s #OlympicDay!” Tessa wrote on the day that’s come to be known as “Olympic Day.”

“Thinking about the Games takes me back to these practice days … an empty arena filled only with our dreams and goals,” she continued.
“It was the process that was most fulfilling – diving deeply into each and every facet of preparation, long before crowds or judges had their say,” added Virtue to her post, accompanying a black-and-white video of herself and former ice-dancing partner Scott Muir performing a routine on the ice.
“To the summer 2020 athletes who envisioned something entirely different this year and were eagerly awaiting their Olympic moment … hang in there,” she added.
“Know that there is an entire nation behind you, ready to propel you forward when you need a boost as you continue training, perfecting, focusing,” Virtue concluded. “Your time will come, and it will be everything you make it.”
