Kenyan taekwondo athlete Faith Ogallo has been training for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo for almost a year-and-a-half now. Despite the uncertainty still surrounding the event, she keeps working hard and continues to dream.
The Games appear certain to take place, and a limited number of domestic spectators will even be allowed in, but there have already been positive Covid-19 tests among visiting teams. For all athletes, it won’t be a simple case of turning up, competing, enjoying themselves, and possibly returning home in glory.
Taekwondo training is tough and relentless
Faith Ogallo qualified for the Tokyo games way back in February 2020.
