the Belgian Tornado’s Jonathan Sacoor fled out of the pure chaos of the American-college-and moved in with his girlfriend/co-worker-an athlete in Georgia. We did a 400 meter runner on the line, in what is now Santiago. “We are very lucky, my friend, is a well-equipped fitness centre.”
Jonathan Sacoor was in the United States, where the 20-year-old 400 metres runner is a student at the university of Tennessee. But in mid-march, was the situation in the four days of “no problem” to “complete mayhem and a red alert”, and thus bears witness to Sacoor. “It was hallucinatory how fast he was going. My college was suddenly closed. Almost all American students have jumped into their car and drove back to the house. The campus was deserted, and Knoxville was turned into a ghost town. Everything was closed down. He also announced that the state of emergency, and I definitely wanted to avoid for more than a month, t < / I> he middle of nowhere. to sit.” And six, Sacoor, as the lightning of his stuff, and he got to be one of the last flights out of the united states. Not in the direction of his family, and the Borlée clan in the country, but with a destination in Italy. There, where his girlfriend, the sprinter Martina Weil, with whom he was in Tennessee, together, school, home.
Jonathan Sacoor on the slopes, in the city,
“I’ve talked to my coach Jacques Borlée, and he said, ” it’s also a good idea for Chili to choose from. The coronacrisis was relatively small, it was beautiful weather and I was able to get in, unlike in Belgium, there is on the track to walk. I am now at the parents house of my friend in the capital city of Santiago. Her mother, Ximena Restrepo (a Colombian heroin, once they are in the Olympics in 1992 and her country’s first olympic atletiekmedaille ever delivered the bronze in the 400 meters, ed.) I was invited to come here to work out. She has also served as vice-voorzitser of the international athletics federation, and to put the plans that Jacques Borlée forward to in the specific exercise plans for me and her daughter. She is also a 400-meterloopster, so that we can offer our courses in tune with one another. However, it is nice to have along with your girlfriend to be able to work out. I’m going to miss my family, but I’m going to call them most of the time, and I’m very happy that they are healthy and safe to be in Belgium.”
Chile has continued to be, initially, like a lot of South American countries, is reasonably collected from the corona virus, but in the meantime, it is the inevitability of this moment, also in the city, will be detailed. “Up until last week I was able to continue on to the athletics track to train, but that has now been closed. So, do I need to be more creative: stairs, running, and endurance training for example). We should be happy to be outside running. In Chile, you need to be on the official website and fill up a form wherein you will indicate as to why you really leave your house. It is a well-founded reason for it. Finally, four hours on the road, and if you get stopped by the police, you need to be on your smartphone, in the approved form for the show. My friend has a well-equipped fitness centre, so I have to be in the street, not for it. ”

Or is it that I have at least one or two of the matches could finish with this season. It is crucial to 2021 is increased. It is only by a full-fledged race and I can test out how good my English is. And in that experience I base my planning for the next season. Without these competitions, it may be difficult for a lot of progression to make. But, of course, is the safety and well-being of everyone else.”The champion is the junior in the 400 meters, frustrated, of course, is that the first Olympic Games to be postponed. The 4x400m relay estafetteploeg if he is dreaming of an olympic medal. “You know, I’m still young, and normally I will have that extra year is even stronger. However, I do have some sympathy with Kevin and Jonathan Borlée (32) that will be counted on to Play this year. This delay has really hurt it. But the two have a lot of determination and experience, she should be hear this time next year. A little extra goes to them and not slow down. And in the big moments, they are always top notch.”
