how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm going to subscribe for more stories that people the world over d, w on facebook and twitter. up to date and in touch, follow us. the the the the the,

the bigger than a competition. and i want to be part of it. you have to be in top shape and then you can beat anyone love me. it's not clear whether any events will actually take place. it's tough. well, could you tell me the way alex sandra and dolo was 21 years old. when she puts on her fencing gear for the 1st time. ever since then, the sports has become her life. it's kind of $9.00 to $5.00 job, so it's not like a $9.00 to $5.00 job. there are days when practically all you have on your mind from waking up to going to bed is fencing. you have to be on your toes and keep on

developing. and not just be content with your past victory fun. i think she used to compete in the 10 top loan. now she trains around 20 hours per week, always following the same routine and smoothness. as soon as the mosque comes off, she's a different person again. it's been excellent here and when a fun party out going in my private life and we use your time on call me on time on the piece and half my mask on. i close down a lot while i'm still totally alerts, it's something you can only see through my physical movement. but obviously not in my face with my companies in the midst of the things and my in 2019. she wouldn't bronze the european championships, making it to the tokyo olympics would allow her to fulfill a childhood dream is

a fish in yonder that was the 1st time i watched the olympics on tv. and i've been fascinated, ever since. it's such a huge sports festival with so many discipline and top athletes at the same place. it's the biggest event. there is water, most sports for the month. and i want to be part of the time in alexandra and don't know, it's the daughter of a polish mother and kenyan father is why she is also working on a project that is close to her heart. the foundation of a fencing federation in kenya, where young people can train and learn the sport for response time, i just, i'm incredibly proud of it. it's just what i wanted, you know, making fencing accessible to children and young people with the main thing is getting the structures in place and you don't need everything running ultra professional. plus we work in the poor parts of nairobi in kenya and have been able

to get some kids off the street to just see the dominant. and that makes me really happy news in thomas villa is among the best javelin throws in the world. it's a discipline that has a long history, the olympic games if the student is told us and move in to be traveling is the historical part of the game. as sure things have evolved over time period once launched with the sling and the technique has moved on it. but i like the history of a shall ledgers you spirit to hunton to defend themselves. there's a bit of ancient instinct that can really help your motivation even what you're doing and really talk much. go ahead and come to my doesn't usually need any extra

motivation. not even when the corona virus pandemic hit overnight training options were limited in competition were put on hold because if they were already signed in january 2020 of something happening that would one day affect us. we because the students started making their plans more flexible than something we'd have to do in $26.00 team to the virus and resulting political instability. it was a month. so this year we were already prepared for that in a curb. our expectation. they always knew what i was doing it for to the thomasville and knows how to prepare for the big competitions. he's the olympic champion, having one goal that the rio games in 2016 has he got devoted business. want to keep one elliptic old, any time for it to think in 15, you have a lot to digest back home. so not just in rio you, i'm interested in,

you appreciate what the olympic movement encompasses us more than an important competition. it's the theater of sport, it's, it's pretty wild dash hopeless. this bought the image by him to cost to get there requires the loss of time and dedication doesn't just work with javelle. and he also uses other training methods. he knows how important the elliptic games are to an athlete can be realistic stadium. we're also train our empty and endorse. we don't have spectators in high. and so of course, the big occasion is missing. what i can conjure up something that isn't fair. this dies can help issue bear with me. ah, the time demick has the face of sport. it has interfered with training scheduled

and made planning impossible. hi jump. i'm a real wrong young slice can tell you a thing or 2 about that. and bearable. i'm training for competitions that may or may not take place like stuff in the southern and that's no nice thing which i'm going in now. it's clear that the olympics will indeed take place. the 30 year old lives trains and worked on in paris rights in germany. a childhood wasn't always easy. she was often the targets of every day racism. we went a whole lot. i used to get bullied due to the color of my skin. and i had to switch schools that's really hard for a young child. and for adults in general, a very unpleasant thing for mine. and she wants to become

a teacher to pass on her knowledge to children in addition to her sports career. and she's also working on her professional future is then i wish you a nice day and that everyone is nice today. and then when something happens that you don't like show the read side and say why mine out loud. now let's run like a wild goose chase. i got to them, i'm working with kid, you can then they can you see how quickly they develop and learn on bescedy, advisor, paving the way food for them is the most rewarding job own path lead her to her 1st, elliptic games in 2016 in rio she didn't make it to the metal podium, but she returned to germany all the more motivated to try again in tokyo.

this is the main thing for me since 2019 has been to stay healthy. sounds silly, but it really is true. it's not. if i'm not fit and i'm in pain, i can't perform my best. and of course that's where i want to be. i want to reach the final and maybe even jump a personal best calm or anything over to me just would be cooling fun with the session. real quick. the other lena thought, man in her element. hi, quando is her life. and between all her training sessions, that's hardly time for much else. what the other support is,

my life. i sacrificed so much for it every day. so i always try to set myself small short term goal. and i keep my motivation up with the big goal of one day, making b olympics and let them go to a modeling, a full month's start to take one. those child training during the pandemic wasn't always easy, but at least training is now possible. again, for her, the postponement of the games also had a positive side. she initially failed to qualify directly, but the qualifications were late to cancel. now she had a 2nd chance when that's always been the best and earn that success through her own hard work. if it's last year didn't go so great for us. we have to say what madeline is way up in the world, in elliptic ranking, selling this, this product. and we're using the time now to make that chance happen. now all madeline, a phone man can do is continue to train at the moment. competitions on possible

such a big challenge for the young athlete. they help michelin also do it. canceled. i've always had a lot to overcome. i never had it easy and was never in a lighter weight class. so at the moment vehicle i always had a lot of tough rivals, but always managed to prevail. and to get to the olympics all do what i've always done. fight cancel. i fuck you know, the students still lives at hon. the uncertainty about the olympics weighs heavily on molina folk man. but her family and especially her mother, lend support the media. my family gives me amazing support and are hugely important to me. the training and competitions mean i don't see them so often. but when i am home, we make the most of that time together aside from gemini 1st female ticonda

fighters come together in nuremberg madeline, a phone man plans to give her all so that maybe she can still make it to tokyo. but a suspected corona virus case in the team, the training short slash and that unless we need training might get canceled. so i've lost that opportunity to show all i've got in those 3 days. i know anything can happen in sports, and i'm convinced i can make it now. we'll have to wait and see how the situation develops. perhaps all bypass that me the turkey olympics are now scheduled to begin in july. we can miss can. i'm still optimistic that the world will get the crisis under control. and i take that optimism with me into training
