A Big Mac cost $3.99 that summer of 2020, and the Dow Jones sat at 30,606 — the country was simultaneously navigating a presidential election season in which U.S. intelligence agencies reported that Russia was actively working to interfere in the vote on behalf of Donald Trump. On the cultural front, DaBaby and Roddy Ricch held the number one spot on the charts with "Rockstar," while Glennon Doyle's memoir "Untamed" sat atop the nonfiction bestseller lists as millions of Americans read during a summer that looked and felt unlike any other. The Tokyo Summer Olympics, delayed a full year by the pandemic, went forward in 2021 but were officially designated the 2020 Games, with American athletes finishing at the top of the overall medal standings, bringing home 39 gold, 41 silver, and 33 bronze for a total of 113 medals.
