If you are like me, the Olympics has brought a glimmer of excitement to your early mornings and, in my case, late evenings (testing my stamina, I determinedly watched the entire women’s triathlon through to the early hours).
Why am I talking about the Olympics? Well, as part of the opening ceremony, a Japanese boxer called Arisa Tsubata was featured running alone on a treadmill. She also happens to be a nurse.
Ms Tsubata’s solitary treadmill run during the opening of the Tokyo games was designed to show how athletes had to prepare for the pandemic-hit event in isolation, a feeling many can relate to.
