But not allowed to go home And there will be practice immediately on the afternoon of January 1, 2024. The reason is because we do not have much time, approximately 2 months, to prepare the 8-man 4×100 meter relay team, not many athletes before traveling to collect training. in the United States at the end of March. hotfuns

“We invested in the team for 4 full months, laid the foundation for 2 full months, and in January – February there will be competitions to prepare for fitness. After all, if athletes are released during this period, there may be problems. As we have always had problems, such as during Songkran, there were injured athletes returning. There used to be a case of 2 people infected with COVID-19 who came back until the camp broke up and had to be separated. Plus, now the new strain of flu is very easy to spread. If a problem arises All 4 months of effort will be wasted immediately. We have already applied for visas for 8 people. We cannot change them anymore. You can change it. It has a lot of impact on the team. Much before we compete in the 4×100 meter relay world championships in the Bahamas for a chance to win a ticket to the Olympic Games.” ( hotfuns )
