ATLANTA (USA): World 100m champion Christian Coleman has spoken of the difficulty of training for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games under the current circumstances, informs Reuters. “Everybody I have talked to has been extremely affected by these drastic times in some way. Tracks are closed. They are having to go to a park and run on the grass. They are not able to be around their coaches and training groups. And that’s just track athletes. What about the swimmers who can’t find a pool that is open and wrestlers when people should not be in contact. This is bigger than sports,” he said. Coleman is currently residing in Atlanta away from his training group and his coach. “It starts to weigh on you mentally because you are not sure if you are doing the right things,” he said of the absence of a coach and training partners.
