Japans professional baseball season is underway now, three months behind schedule. The hugely popular sport resumed games without spectators. Acaccording t to a study conduc by a Sports Marketing Agency Nearly 50 of global sporting events are likely to be cancelled thihis year. Of course this is a blow to fans, athletes and team owners, the stadiums and t the concessi stands. Today we see how athletes in japan are still out to win the game by adapting to this challenging time. First, in may it was cancelled all together. Sumo wrestlers have been unprecedented training rerestrictions. Toto entertain and update fans d keep up team morale the wrestlers started to post videos on social media. 172 kilogram wrestler is very agile and he works out with a jump rope. Hihis video is part of a new series called time a at homome produced by the japan Sumo Association. Each spotlighting a different wrestler. The coronavirus pandemic has drastically revamped their activities. In march for the first time in sports history a tournament was held without spectators. Even though the virus continued to spread in japan. So, the association banned training exchanges and all practice sesessions involving positive conduct. Despite precautions the wrestler s shortly b before the association decided to cancel the may tournament t to protect the health of spectators and wrestlers. It gives sumo fans the encouragement. This mongolia wrestler likes to make crafts in his free time and in this clip shows off his cooking skikill his 3yearold n loves sumo. He teaches his son. It is good exercise.

The Sumo Association decided to hold a contest in tokyo without spectators. Some are concerned that the wrestlers will be out of shape.

With restrictions lifting sumo training is slowly returning to normal. For the moment the listeners have been given the green light for the july tournament. No live spectators but the show will go on. Next, we look at boxing. When japan was under the state of emergency in april and may bouts were cancelled. This was no exception even for one that has produced many world champions. Lets see how this gentleman coped with the situation. This is the boxing gym. Renowned for producing world class fighters. Training at a professional level and keeping social distanced poses an extra challenge. Fighters are having to rethink their workouts throwing bombs instead of punches. In april the japan Profile Association asked gyms to close their doors to members using it for regular workouts. That was a heavy blow we are talking about a drop of 30,000 per month. I have been running a gym for 45 years but this situation is the first. This gym has kept doors open to all members and shortening the operating hours. Membership fees make up around 20,000 a month. How many million . It was a tough choice. If we followed the associations request we would be in the red. We had to take measures to deal with the coronavirus. To ease the pain the Japan Boxing Association offered 2,800 in Financial Assistance to gyms that suspended the separationons. So they came up with their own game plan, crowd funding to encourage donors to step forward. They have gloves autographed by the resident camp.

You can see the National Stadium and the gym nazium right there. Tokyo was all geared up fors it second games this summer and the announcement of the postponement was hugely disappointing for athletes around the world and in the final report we talk to athletes from south sudan to see how they have been impacted. They have been training hard in japan since last year. This gym of four athletes have been training in japan since november. Not yet that great. South sudan gained their independence in 2011 after a half century of fighting. He is the oldest of eight siblings. He has been the bread winner for his family. When he was picked for his countrys olympic team his mother encouraged him to go. He is not just competing for the sake of his family. Four years ago sports tournaments in south sudan have brought together young people from different ethnic groups. Something to ease tensions in the country. To compete and get good results so that everybody will be healthy in the country. Then came terrible news. Postponement. You know, this is a year like we are seeing. It could be a very big disappointment to me personally. In early april south sudan announced their first confirmed coronavivirus case. It is hard for him to get through by home bececause of th frequent power outages. She told me that she is now settled. She was always worried. Sometimes she would even cry. I told her i was worried about them and she said not to worry. Despite the delays to the tokyo games he carries on with his fellow country men in south sudan. He is now working with immigration on extending visas until next summer. For the athletes the long absence from home and family back in an unstable country can certainly present various challenges. Still, they are looking ahead and taking full advantage of the opportunity. Most recently posting their own best records. Sporting venues with no spectators, keeping appropriate distance. But there is no question that athletes are not full of enthusiasm and passion and that it will continue to resonate with fans. Hundreds of protesters are arrested in hong kong.
