If the coronavirus pandemic wasn't raging around the world, Stephanie Roble would be in Tokyo, living out her lifelong dream of representing the United States in the Olympics.
However, because there is no end in sight to the pandemic, Roble's dream has been postponed for a year, until the summer of 2021, assuming COVID-19 is then under control.
Roble, a former Old Dominion University sailing standout, said she and teammate Maggie Shea were relieved when they heard the Olympics had been delayed.
"We want to be able to sail when spectators can be there, when the athletes are really well trained and at their best," Roble said.
