After facing possible cancellation and a second postponement, the upcoming diving World Cup, which is both a qualifier and test event for the Tokyo Olympics, will be held with strict precautions and poolside coronavirus protocols.
As divers get a taste of competition during the coronavirus crisis, they will have to put aside the pandemic-related distractions that have affected their training and routines to perform at their best in a bubble as they pursue quota spots for their countries.
All 225 athletes participating in the meet, scheduled to run from Saturday to Thursday at Tokyo Aquatics Centre, will be subject to doping control tests, and also to 14-day health monitoring prior to departure if traveling from overseas.
