Runner Alexi Pappas is aiming to run the marathon at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in 2021 for Greece.
Just as she was supposed to be peaking for her qualification event – everything was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Even now, it’s not totally clear when elite races will start up again.
“It's just really uncertain when those marathons will be safe and possible,” she said to the Olympic Channel Podcast.
“I think my goal is still there. But I recognise that I'm like needing to be nimble and flexible with the possibilities that are out there.”
