FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “French athletes struggle with Covid-19 restrictions” – below is their description.
In this edition we see how France’s sports world is handling the Covid-19 curveball. With social distancing rules and two lockdowns upending many competitions and closing down most training facilities, it’s been a rough year for athletes, clubs and fans alike. Faced with the dire consequences of this forced time-out, President Emmanuel Macron has met representatives and come up with a game plan. But beyond the financial aspect, this health crisis has also taken its toll on French athletes both physically and mentally. Judo champion Clarisse Agbegnenou gives us her take on the situation.
