I have been a sports photographer for 34 years, since I was 20, I have followed many sports, including Champions League football, basketball and MotoGP.

The Olympics has been postponed – I can now say that to some degree, we were expecting that. As professional athletes, we just have to accept it.

I just couldn’t believe that the Olympics had really been postponed. It sounded like a bad joke. In the beginning, I think I didn’t appreciate the seriousness of the virus but as it became more and more evident, me and my teammates were really disappointed and didn’t know what to do.

I was quite worry about if we are all well prepared for the Games, but when we confirmed the postponement for one year, I was so released as we have more time to prepare for the Games, and all the competitions will be resumed. It is the best option for all athletes.

I was shocked ar first yet I understand their arrangement as COVID 19 is getting worse globally. To ensure our health, postponement is the best solution.
