TOKYO: Australian skeet shooter Paul Adams learned he had made the team for the Tokyo Olympics on Friday and while he will have to wait until 2021 to compete due to the COVID-19 pandemic he says the postponement will only make athletes hungrier for success.
But with strict measures aimed at curbing the spread of the new coronavirus still in place in Australia, Adams is finding it difficult to train. “Maybe when we come back we will be hungry for it and really trying to compete," he said."So next year we might see some world records broken in lots of different events, which would be a pretty cool thing to see.”While he has not had to deal with any COVID-19 cases so far Adams says there is no let up in the number of people coming through the hospital doors sick and injured.
