Your first impressions ?

Firstly, when we arrived, I was wary about what awaits us here. I knew about the restrictions but I couldn’t imagine how it going to be in real. Many checkings and tests in the airport, then tests in the hotel every day. We stay in the hotel rooms only and we are just going out for trainings, everything according to the activity plan accepted previously with our national olympic comittee.

Your day (Friday 30) ?

Every day, we do the same things : sleep, eat and train. In between, I read and watch some videos, or frustrating with my phone 😅 as everyone does.

Your Karate ?

Nothing much about karate. This is just one more competition. Everything is going to be the same. The difference will be just in the minds of athletes, depending on how much importance they put into this event.
