Practice, games and lots of time at the hotel

TOKYO (AP) — It’s positively been a unique Olympics than I’m used to and that hasn’t been all unhealthy for me.

With the COVID protocols and restrictions we are able to’t do an excessive amount of exterior of going to apply and the world for video games, so I spend a whole lot of time in my room stress-free.

Although I benefit from the solitude, not having the ability to do a lot of something is unlucky as a result of I actually was wanting ahead to coming to Tokyo. I really like vegetation and I really like how inexperienced the town is and it’s so clear.

I had been actually hoping that I might go see the Botanical Gardens, sadly, I don’t suppose that’s going to be taking place.

Regardless that we’re caught within the lodge, we do have a bit path on the seventh ground the place we are able to get some recent air.

Hopefully issues get relaxed a bit bit extra so we are able to get exterior earlier than closing ceremonies.

We’re allowed to go watch the lads’s staff play and when that was first supplied, I jumped on the probability to get out and help them.

It’s additionally actually cool that they got here to look at us play, too.

That’s one of many nice issues in regards to the bond we’ve with them that actually reveals itself in the course of the Olympics. We’re all the time cheering one another on, it’s not a brand new factor. But it surely looks as if it’s been supporting one another extra on this Olympics as a result of we actually simply have one another since none of our households might come.

I’m undecided in the event that they’ll be capable to come out to our subsequent sport. We play another pool sport on Monday after which it’s on to the quarterfinals.
