By Prince Golez

The government’s coronavirus task force has allowed the resumption of training of athletes competing in the Tokyo Olympics using bubble setup.

In a virtual presser Tuesday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque announced that the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases approved the request of the Philippine Olympic Committee to resume training of athletes who have already qualified for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

“Ito po exciting, ang pagpayag sa request ng Philippine Olympic Committee na magbalik training ang ating mga pambansang atleta na sasali sa Tokyo Olympics sa isang bubble-type setting,” according to Roque.

“Ang pag-conduct ng bubble-type setting ay gagawin sa pakikipagugnayan sa regional task force kung saan gagawin ang training at lokal na pamahalaan kung saan nandoon ang proposed venue.

“Sana po marami tayong makuhang ginto sa Tokyo Olympics,” he concluded.
