Celebration Wall opened for incredible Calgary Paralympian competing in Tokyo calgary.ctvnews.ca - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from calgary.ctvnews.ca Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Brown, currently in Florida training before he heads to Tokyo in two days, said he was impressed with the wall, saying it matters because the Tokyo Olympics are unorthodox games.
That s because no fans will be permitted to watch the events live and athletes, along with Olympic officials, journalists and broadcast crews, are being kept in a bubble to protect them from COVID-19, which is on the rise in Japan. In spite of the precautions, 67 cases have been detected among those accredited for the Games since most athletes and officials began arriving on July 1. A place for my friends and family, supporters, to all go and support me, having a big wall like that, celebration wall just dedicated to myself, I m humbled and definitely so grateful, Brown said in a Zoom interview.
