With Sport Suspended, Here's How Athletes Are Passing Time In Isolation

No team training sessions and no game day prep means they needed to get creative - by Alex Pierotti
  • 27 Mar 2020

Sport is cancelled indefinitely while the Tokyo Olympics have been officially postponed. Athletes and sporting personalities have been left with not a whole not to do, aided by the fact that facilities are closed and group sessions canned.

WATCH: How To Prevent The Spread Of Coronavirus

So what does a sportsman do while stuck in isolation and after the little exercise they can do in their makeshift gym? A quick glance at their social media account paints a very bleak picture. 

NRL stars are launching (maybe a side-hustle?) a TikTok career: Alex Johnston, Kotoni Staggs and Nick Cotric are the most prominent figures on the video-sharing platform. From skits about missing the game to learning new dance moves, these rugby stars have a lot of spare time at the moment.

Others have moved back home: many hail from the dusty red-soil plains. Jimmy Roberts is helping out at his family's farm while Daniel Riccardo is back in WA exchanging a Formula 1 car for a tractor.
