TOKYO: With his Olympics preparations in tatters, Japanese fencer Ryo Miyake has begun delivering food for Uber Eats as a way to keep up his fitness and bring in a little extra cash during the enforced coronavirus lockdown.
But with all competitions now cancelled for the foreseeable future and the Olympics pushed back a year, Miyake felt he couldn't accept sponsorship money in good conscience. "I thought it was a little impudent to receive support in such a situation, so I told them to hold for the time being."With no access to a gym due to Japan's coronavirus lockdown, Miyake said he was looking for a way to make money and maintain his fitness at the same time.
He only earns about 2,000 yen a day working for Uber Eats, but Miyake said that added to his savings this means he has enough to survive without sponsorship. He is also looking for other ways to earn money around his training regime.
