Chief Development Officer Antonio Raboiliku says they are not discouraging the athletes from training as they wish to continue the momentum they built from last year into the 2020 season even though the Olympics have been postponed till next year.

However, the athletes have also been advised to adhere to all government restrictions and practice all necessary precautions including good personal hygiene and social distancing when engaged in training.
