Olympics Kenya president Paul Tergat says Team Kenya's preparations for the Tokyo Olympics on July 23-August 8 are on schedule despite additional financial burdens occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic. Tergat said setting up bubble training camps for athletes preparing for the event as well as those participating in Olympics qualifiers has come at an extra cost for the committee. "The 2020 Games as was the case with many other sport events had to be postponed as the world struggled to fight the global scourge of Covid-19. This was a difficult time for many athletes especially bearing in mind that the Olympic Games is a dream event for any athlete to participate in. The fact that the Games are finally set to be held this year is therefore a reprieve to many," he said.
