Does the epidemic situation affect the performance of athletes participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games?

Of course, the epidemic has an impact on athletes participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games. I was very sad when China lost the table tennis mixed doubles championship. I think this is one of the sequelae of the epidemic.

The epidemic did have a great impact on the athletes who participated in the Olympic Games. First of all, the Olympic Games was postponed. Because of the COVID-19 epidemic, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was postponed for a whole year. During this period, many athletes are in a very uneasy mood, because no one knows when the Olympic Games will start, let alone whether they can hold on until then. In this year's waiting time, there are too many uncertain factors, so most athletes should keep exercising and improve themselves. In the process of promotion, some people were injured, and some even retired because there was no way to persist.

Secondly, because of the epidemic, there was no audience at the Tokyo Olympic Games. This will not only make the atmosphere of the Olympic Games less lively, but also directly affect the treatment of athletes. Everyone knows that most people will lose money when hosting the Olympic Games, and the biggest income of the Olympic Games should be ticket income. Affected by the epidemic, there were no spectators in these Olympic Games. In other words, BOCOG lost the main income of tickets, and the accommodation they provided to athletes also declined. Even in the Olympic village, the money for athletes to buy coke is more expensive than outside. In order to reduce expenses, Japan has classified garbage to the extreme. Cardboard beds make many athletes have to sleep on the ground, which will definitely affect their performance on the field.

The biggest influence on athletes is the change of competition rules. For example, in table tennis, athletes are not allowed to touch or blow air on the table tennis table. You should know that these two little tricks are often done by athletes when playing table tennis. Now the regulations do not allow them to do such actions, which shows that they still have some control over their hearts when playing. This means that athletes can't devote themselves wholeheartedly to the competition. In the table tennis mixed doubles competition, our athletes must have been affected, and Japanese athletes also fouled, but the referee didn't see it, which affected the fairness of the competition to some extent. And it's not just table tennis that adds new rules. Other sports have added some rules more or less because of the epidemic. These rules will break the athletes' previous training rules and will naturally have an impact on their final play.

In a word, this Olympic Games is very difficult. Some athletes thanked Tokyo for hosting this Olympic Games. At that time, many people on the Internet criticized him, but a normal person can understand, because if they were not all under pressure, according to this Olympic Games, this Olympic Games would probably be cancelled, which is unfair to athletes who have worked hard for several years, because athletes' sports careers are only that long, and the four-year Olympic Games are really important to them. Now the athletes are working hard on the spot to win honor for the country and themselves. I hope they can protect themselves while getting good grades. After all, there is a saying in China that you are not afraid of burning firewood.
