SINGAPORE - Forced off the track owing to stricter circuit breaker measures to control the spread of Covid-19, Singapore's track and field athletes have instead moved to the tarmac, grass and parks in order to keep up with their training regimens.
Yap, 25, has been doing sprints on the road near his home in the evenings while Pereira, who usually does her track sessions four days a week, has found an 80m grass patch within her condominium in Changi. Marathoner Soh Rui Yong, who usually does speed training twice a week at either the Queenstown Stadium or Kallang track, plans to replicate the sessions at a nearby park.
Despite the setbacks and uncertainty, they are choosing to focus on the positives, with 2015 SEA Games gold medallist Pereira saying:"I'm just thankful for the fact that I can still use different surfaces to do drills and run, whereas a lot of other athletes need a specific kind of environment to train."
