TOKYO – Indonesian male sprinter, Then Muhammad Zohri, ensures that he is ready to perform optimally on his debut in Tokyo 2020 Olympics. No doubt, the 2018 U-20 World Athletics champion Finland tried to take advantage of the time to adapt to the starting block at the Olympic Stadium, Tokyo.
During the training session which took place on Wednesday 28 July 2021 morning, Zohri explained that the starting block in Tokyo was different from the one used during training in Indonesia. Even so, Zohri did not see this as an obstacle.
“I’ve only competed with a starting block like this once. This actually made me excited, like a challenge,” said Zohri after training, as quoted by Okezone, Thursday (29/7/2021).
