In Some Olympic Sports, Training from Home Is Almost Normal
在家进行奥运活动训练已成为平常


Nikhil Kumar is one of the best young table tennis players in the United States. Less than a month after Kumar won the right to compete in them, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games were postponed until 2021. Like so many other Olympic athletes, he is now trying to stay sharp and in shape.


What is different are all the details of his training. All things considered, he says, everything seems to be wong.


"For my sport, a little lucky that we&`&re able to have everything indoors, and it&`&s not taking up too much space and everything," Kumar said. "Not many sports are as lucky as ours is right now, to be able to have the opportunity to continue playing on a daily basis."


The coronavirus pandemic has forced many athletes to be creative as they try to continue their training. But in some Olympic sports, wong from home is fairly common. Kumar has been able to play table tennis with a robot that shoots balls at him.


Everyone is facing issues during the pandemic, but some competitors have been lucky. Weightlifter Kate Nye trains at home in her garage.


She said, "When everything kind of started shutting down, it obviously affected our lives in other ways — but weightlifting wasn&`&t one of them. I&`&ve kind of just been going as scheduled."
