27 May 2020

(Original text in Japanese)

Following the national cancellation of the emergency declaration, the Tokyo Olympic Sailing team, which operates in Kanagawa Prefecture, has resumed its activities. The Japan Sailing Federation provides infectious disease prevention measures specialized for sailing (excerpt can be found below) and provides training in the form... of self-training. 



On May 27, at Hayama Port, Ai Yoshida / Miho Yoshioka of 470W and Keiju Okada / Junpei Sozono 470M  are back to 470s after about one and a half month in quarantine. Today the 470 Olympic team resumed practice.

During the self-restraint period, the athletes were training at home, but they sailed for a short time at Sagami Bay, the venue for the Tokyo Olympics. From now on, the Japanese national team will be training mainly in Hayama and Enoshima (since June).
