When the boxers of the USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team arrived in Colorado Springs, Colo. this week they walked into a new training facility with just over six months left until the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and even less time to their qualification tournaments.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, USA Boxing athletes have not been allowed to train in the national boxing gym at the United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center (USOPTC) since March 2020, and have had to continue to make adjustments to their training plans, which included training at the French National Training Center in Paris in late 2020.
