A group of Mongolian Paralympic athletes who came to Japan in February to train with hopes of competing in the now-postponed Tokyo Games have found themselves unable to return home amid the new coronavirus pandemic.
The six members of Mongolia's para athletics team have extended their stay in Yaizu, Shizuoka Prefecture, for more than a month so far due to restrictions imposed by the Mongolian government in response to the spread of COVID-19.
But while they are still uncertain as to when they can return, and confess to missing home, the athletes are determined to make the best of their situation, taking advantage of the excellence of facilities available in the city.
