We want to compete, but I’m not late for his life. ‘Angry Olympian called for the Tokyo Games of over-19 COVID

How many Olympic athletes from around the world, Erik Kynard, a jumper american, is tired of the double dose of stress. Amid the global pandemic COVID-19 produces enough worries on its own. Throw in to qualify daunting task for an Olympic team to try, even if COVID-19 social distancing proper training impossible for many athletes and anxiety are linked leadership makes good rise even higher. While most of the biggest sporting events in the coming months closed or has been moved, the International Olympic Committee has rejected so far for the 2020 Summer Olympics reschedule or cancel. I’m still starting to set in about four months, on July 24 in Tokyo. As each day with COVID-19 cases is on the rise, the world the idea of ​​11,000 athletes from all over – not to mention the tens of thousands of spectators – travel to Japan, which gives more than 1,000 confirmed cases and 40 deaths crown have COVID-19 from Sunday afternoon, it seems increasingly unlikely. “Your dreams are aimed primarily at a fancy way because you can not do what is necessary to achieve that dream,” said Kynard, a member of USA Track & Field board of directors, who won a silver medal high jump in 2012 in London and the sixth in Rio Olympics. “You must be a measure of scholars or researchers to evaluate the circumstances at the time against us. To tell them they were preparing to host with the presence of these viruses, even the games that I personally think it’s ridiculous. For how could it be? “Kynard is frustrated. Under normal circumstances, it would have been in Manhattan, Kan., With the formation Kansas State University. But the facility is closed. So you are holed up in Marietta, Ga., At least not lift weights in a position to make a jump bar at the top and found mat. He believes that the financial greed of the International Olympic Committee has prevented at least push back the start date of the Olympics. What would Kynard he said, sitting at the IOC President Thomas Bach, Bach when he was at a socially appropriate distance of six feet away? “I would like coughing.” Uff. Comment Kynard disk reflects the growing anger athletes feel about the response from the IOC to COVID-19 crisis. Now Olympic sport bodies begin to line up behind them. Friday, March 20 is the US swimming and athletics US sent letters to the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USPOC) support a change to the Tokyo Games. USA Swimming has called the games begin in a year. Both organizations have demonstrated the mental health of their Olympians as motivation for their positions. “Every experience was unimaginable interference, a few months before the Olympics, which brings into question the authenticity of a level playing field,” wrote Tim Hinchley III, President and CEO of USA Swimming. “Our athletes are under enormous pressure, stress and anxiety, and their mental health and wellbeing should be the highest priority.” Swimming and athletics are two of the most popular Olympic sports and the US is the dominant team, topped the medals table at Rio have; American swimmers won 33 medals in Brazil, track and field athletes took home 32. The positions of this organization could put further pressure on the IOC for its Tokyo to change plans. “Athletics, gymnastics and swimming, the big boys are,” says Maria Mictha-Coffey, a two-time Olympian visitors from the United States holds a doctorate in biomedical sciences and the training is to be a medical assistant. “It ‘falls on us at times to create a precedent. I feel very happy to write very proud of his letters, because it is not only the athletes in the best interest, but” “it is the world. The USOPC complete empathy and total for the athletic community, like the terrible stress and anxiety caused by the current lack of certainty about the Tokyo Games to manage “CEO USOPC Sarah Hirshland and USOPC President Susanne Lyons said in a statement in response to the letter of the US swimming . “At the same time, and as it relates to games, we have also heard of athletes who want the Olympic community and Paralympic Games as expected in very way forward – and to ensure that we do not take all athletes prematurely ensure” opportunity to compete at Olympic and Paralympic Games until we have greater clarity. with still planned Olympics, many athletes feel they Flaunt recommendations or to put in quarantine are encouraged themselves and others putting at risk the virus or unsatisfactory for the fly-by-night training methods. Kynard has found a basic training and technique to perform a softball diamond. It can not be a gym for strength training. Nathan Adrian, a five-time Olympic champion American swimmer in the 50m and 100m freestyle specialist, can not train at his pool Bay Area, in the interest of the public Gesun dheit closed. He is planning to do on dry land training included the house and the purchase of fitness that along the way. “We must assume that will happen to normal, but at the same time, you have to step back and not let the fear of uncertainty of the [Olympic program] is encountered,” says Adrian. “It is arguable that the execution and the mainland are not substitutes [in the pool to be], but they are simple. And ‘in people show time.” The American sprinter Wallace Spearmon is entrenched on a ranch about 20 miles outside of Fayeteville Ark., Where it can not find a gym. “It ‘as I say, hey, I need to go do it yourself for your work, you can not have a pen and paper, is not a technology, you can call anyone, going a big job to do,” he says Spearmon. “How can you do?” Says Spearmon that his girlfriend, Canadian pole vaulter Anicka Newell, called on sofas and step-up the stairs to his push-ups. He ran the bike on the road and Spearmon sprinting after her. “It ‘s like a 1980 Rocky things here,” he says. On 35 Spearmon take one last shot at the Olympics. It would still prefer to delay or termination for reasons of clarity. With its uncertain future, his life feels essentially on hold. In addition, all health risks to be removed, it is of utmost importance. “We want to compete,” Spearmon “but not at the cost of life.” He says “Everyone should have the opportunity to play sports,” Olympic Charter states that “without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, with a requires a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play, mutual understanding.” Points Adrian out with games continue to favor the emphasis injustices inherent in international competition. “At this point, things are not so good,” she says Adrian. “How do I find OK for those with financial means or social media a place to wake up to continue training while the vast majority of people I know who are Olympians, Olympic champion, winner of the world champion, has no place for training today. This is not the spirit of what the Olympics are about to be. ” The gold medal also concerned about trickle-down effect to keep the game schedule. Since he has more time on his hands, Adrian was spending more time in swimming sites look normal. “You see the comments from parents of children aged 16 who have no opportunity to do the Olympics, which actually feel compelled to work right now,” she says Adrian. “And that’s the precedent that the Olympics and the Olympic trials say full steam ahead. I think this is dangerous.” And ‘I want to see change not only swimmers and athletes. Most team sports by nature less than 10 individuals Minister Donald Trump violate leadership to limit meetings. Wrestlers feels about the choice of their sporting rituals tortured and social distancing standards injured. Deferral says US judoka Nina Cutro-Kelly, “would bring peace. We need to train in a location six days a week, and access, to be able to train properly. If we stuck at home there is no way to prepare properly. also, if we are not able to complete the qualification process, it is unfair to those who have been training for this for years. “we could do too deeply into COVID-19 crisis for the July Olympics much sense. “The Olympics is something that unites the world,” said Michta-Coffey. “And I think right now what humanity needs to have in order to be able to overcome to reach this pandemic. We need to have this time to heal the world physically and financially. Let the Olympic Games an increase in ‘economy to be, and for morale. But in due course. not now, when there are more
