Everything's on almost complete lockdown right now.
We had two weeks of just normal training and then suddenly the world just seemed to change completely.
The Tokyo Olympics have been postponed until 2021.
The decision followed weeks of countries imposing social distancing measures and quarantines.
That's forced athletes to find ways to stay healthy and keep train in their homes.
Here's how they've adjusted.
It's quite a surreal experience.
Kiri Tontodonati is a rower for the Italian team.
They've been allowed to keep training on the water, but only in individual boats,
to avoid spreading coronavirus between athletes.
Coming from 40 people in a gym, sweating and being athletes altogether, it's become very quiet.
They've had to replace gym equipment with things they've got at home.
You can't invent a kind of leg press or a squat rack in most houses.
We were joking about buying lots of flour and curls and things like that with household items.
One of my teammates cleaned out her family barn
so that she can put the rowing machine and a few weights in there.
Other athletes are also improvising.
Canadian climber Alannah Yip is using a KitchenAid mixer instead of weights,
and Dutch rower Sophie Souwer is taking advantage of her stairs.
There are three levels of stairways before we enter the apartment. And I've done squat jumps every step.
For some athletes, quarantine has been especially challenging.
Hi, everyone.
South African gymnast Caitlin Rooskrantz typically trains at a gym in Johannesburg
five hours a day, six days a week. In mid-March, that shrunk to just three hours a day.
Our gym's always full.
And you know, there's always many coaches helping us out.
And now we only have our one coach.
But when South Africa entered a nationwide lockdown, she had to start doing all her training at home.
We don't have the proper surface to be able to land safely,
but we do have the basic necessities to just keep things like your flexibility.
Fitness is more than just physical training. American cyclist Lawson Craddick would normally be in
the middle of his competition season, but he's been using this period of isolation to focus on mental health.
Normally this time of year you're always traveling and it's hard to continue meditation,
yoga, all that stuff. So for me, last week or two has kind of been trying to maintain that a bit more,
spend time with my family and take advantage of it.
Alannah Yip usually trains at her local climbing gym, but now, stuck at home in Vancouver,
she's been using a mindfulness technique that also helps her calm down before competitions.
I've been doing it every day, maybe even a couple times a day. It's called color breathing.
What I like to imagine is that you're filled with the color of anxiousness, sort of a swirly black smoke,
and I inhale fresh air around me and which is the color of calmness. So to me, that's blue.
And I'll inhale calmness, and exhale nerves and anxiety.
Where practice isn't possible at all,
Visualizing the process can be effective, too. Támara Echegoyen sails for Spain and won a gold medal in 2012.
Until she can get back on the water, she's rehearsing the motions of sailing at a training center in Santander.
In many ways these athletes are already prepared for lockdowns and delays. They've learned to stay resilient
through injuries and mental hurdles that have forced them to rework their entire routine.
So many things can happen that can really mess up your season, your plans.
If anything, you know a sport, I think, really teaches you to be adaptable and flexible.
The whole time, you know, we keep asking our coach, is there a possibility they will cancel it.
You don't work your whole life for something, just for it to be taken away. But at the same time,
it gives us more time to compete.
Thank you.
Your welcome
Have a lovely afternoon, evening, day.
Sounds good.
Bye.
