Since the spread of the new coronavirus, the international gymnastics competition, which was held for the first time in the Tokyo Olympic Games by inviting overseas athletes, ended without any infected people.
The key is how to apply the knowledge gained from this tournament to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year.
Kohei Uchimura, who has won the all-around gold medal for the second consecutive Olympic Games at the international gymnastics competition held in Tokyo on the 8th, and Nikita Nagorny of Russia, the all-around gold medalist of last year's world championship Players from four countries, including Japan, the United States, Russia, and China, participated.
Since the spread of the infection, at the first competition held in Japan with the participation of athletes from overseas in the Olympic Games, Uchimura was once positive in the PCR test before the competition, and then the test was negative again. The tournament ended without any infected people, except that the hospital that conducted the test concluded that it was false positive.
In holding the Games, the International Gymnastics Federation has been negotiating with the government and Olympic officials since June, and overseas athletes will be quarantined in their own country and undergo multiple PCR tests for two weeks after entering the country. It was a great achievement to introduce special measures to exempt the quarantine, reduce the burden on the athletes while taking strict infection countermeasures, and smoothly approach the Games.
