AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Thursday was originally set to be the eve of the athletics competition at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Now, of course, athletes have 12 more months to wait before track and field action gets underway in the Japanese capital.<\/p>\n

For some, the extra year may feel like a lifetime of waiting. For others it can\u2019t come around soon enough. And for a select few, it has given them something of a lifeline.<\/p>\n

The likes of David Rudisha and Wayde van Niekerk were among the biggest stars of the last Olympic Games in Rio, winning the 800m and 400m respectively. But in recent years, most of their time has been spent away from the track and rehabbing their way back from injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe year has really saved me,\u201d said Rudisha, who was rounding into form at the start of the year but was then forced to undergo ankle surgery at the end of May.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took a lot of time to get fit and it would have been difficult to qualify in June for the Olympics. The ankle fracture will now throw me back, but I hope that by September I will be able to start building up again. That would then give me a normal preparation period leading into an Olympic year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Niekerk is a bit further along in his comeback, having clocked 10.10 and 20.31 over 100m and 200m earlier this year. But the South African sprinter knows the extra year will be hugely beneficial as he aims to get back into the form that carried him to a world 400m record of 43.03 in Rio.<\/p>\n

Van Niekerk will still be in his 20s by the time the Tokyo Olympics take place in 2021, but for athletes the other side of 30 \u2013 or, in some cases, aged 40 and above \u2013 trying to stay in peak form could pose a challenge. It is one they\u2019re willing to tackle, though.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe age is here, but I\u2019m optimistic now,\u201d said javelin world record-holder and two-time Olympic champion Barbora Spotakova, who will turn 40 next June.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first I was disappointed (about the Tokyo 2020 Olympics), but otherwise I told myself that I have a new coach now and it\u2019s our first season together. Next season will be better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spain\u2019s Jesus Angel Garcia, meanwhile, celebrated his 50th birthday last October, just three weeks after finishing eighth in the 50km race walk at the World Athletics Championships Doha 2019.<\/p>\n

When the Tokyo Olympics takes place in 2021, he will be just a few months shy of his 52nd birthday. He\u2019s determined to make it to his eighth Games \u2013 a record tally for athletics.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerforming well in Doha in such difficult conditions makes me feel optimistic ahead of the Olympic Games,\u201d said Garcia. \u201cThat is pretty much a motivation to start a new career in my 50s. I began my career in Barcelona 1992. And even if I\u2019ll be forced to end it, I want this to happen in Tokyo in the 50km race walk.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will continue fighting to be able to retire in Tokyo,\u201d he recently told Mundo Deportivo. \u201cI do not want the coronavirus to force me off from that end point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swedish high jumper Erika Kinsey has also put her retirement plans on hold.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know one year doesn\u2019t sound much, but for me, because of my age, wanting to start a family and because of my injuries, I felt overwhelmed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talked to my family and decided I didn\u2019t want to be done in a season like this. There are goals and aspirations I haven\u2019t accomplished yet. I wanted to give it one more year to see what I can do. Over the last couple of years the high jumpers have really come close. I didn\u2019t want it to end with a year like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think having this year to go back to the basics has actually been really good for me,\u201d she added. \u201cI missed so much strength training when I hurt my back a couple of years ago. This year has given me much more time to focus on the prehab and rehab to get strong again and I felt no stress because I don\u2019t have anything to prove.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow high jumper Mutaz Barshim admits there\u2019s a lack of incentive to train at the moment. But the world champion also realises the \u2018down year\u2019 may be good for his injury-prone body.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s no target, then it\u2019s difficult to find the motivation to train,\u201d he said in an Instagram live chat. \u201cHigh jump takes so much pressure on the body. Sometimes I want to jump but I am not able to sometimes because my body needs time to recover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Multiple world and Olympic champion Valerie Adams gave birth to her second child in March 2019 and returned to action earlier this year, competing at four domestic competitions. Although she threw beyond the Olympic qualifying mark in all of those outings, another year of training could see the 35-year-old return to 20-metre-plus form.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis mama is still pumped to continue the journey to Tokyo 2020 \u2013 the 2021 edition,\u201d she recently posted on her Facebook page.<\/p>\n

Perhaps inspired by athletes such as Adams who have rebounded well after childbirth, German sprint hurdler Cindy Roleder realised that the extra year before Tokyo could offer her a chance to start a family and still get back into racing form.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it was decided the Olympics would be postponed, my husband and I really began doing the maths,\u201d she said. \u201cFor me, the wish to have children had been on my mind for a while, but my plan had always been to complete this Olympic cycle. Of course, things now went differently to what I had planned for, but for some reason my desire to have a child suddenly outweighed my hopes of having an Olympics in this uncertain year. We decided to try for a baby and luckily it worked right away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expected due date is between Christmas and New Year,\u201d added the 2015 world silver medallist. \u201cIf everything goes well, the baby is doing well, I\u2019m doing well, then I will definitely aim for Tokyo and attempt to be competitive by then again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve certainly been following other mothers in the sport. A prime example in my event is Nia Ali, with not one, but two children \u2013 two little children \u2013 who came back stronger than ever.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
