The Tokyo Olympics 2020 have been delayed due to the pandemic situation, how do you feel about it? How are you training while staying at home?
Karen Chen:
It is very unfortunate that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are delayed due to the pandemic, so I really feel for the athletes that had made the Olympic Team and were ready to bring it. I am lucky that the Winter Olympics don’t take place until 2022, so it doesn’t directly impact me and that I have time to sort everything out. However, I have been keeping up with my off ice training, such as pilates and yoga, to help keep my body feeling good and strong.
