For the Tokyo Paralympics, which will start on the 24th of this month, American swimmers and track and field athletes who are training camps at Yokota Air Base in Tokyo have disclosed the practice to the press.
Approximately 40 swimmers and track and field athletes from the American team participating in the Tokyo Paralympics have been holding a training camp at the US Army Yokota Air Base in Fussa, Tokyo since the 11th of this month.
On the 18th, the practice was released to the press, and the players made adjustments in the base playground and outdoor pool in a relaxed manner with occasional smiles.
Of these, McKenzie Korn, who won three gold medals at the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Swimming Girls, was checking the form by going back and forth in the pool with a butterfly stroke.
At the meeting, Korn said, "I am grateful to all the people involved and the Japanese people for making it possible to hold the tournament in Corona."
Also, as a general rule, regarding the tournament held without spectators at all venues, "I think it was a very difficult decision, but I am glad that everyone's safety was prioritized. I can't see him, but I understand that there are people behind the camera who support me. "
He then stated his enthusiasm for the tournament, saying, "I want to show people around the world that there are no limits, no matter what difficulties we face or what obstacles we have."
The players will move to the Olympic Village after making adjustments at Yokota Air Base until the 20th.
