The forced modification of the planning after Tokyo 2020 and the Olympic qualification postponement was a challenge for those of us who wanted to maintain a right motivation level in the athletes training. Regardless of the planning system chosen, all of them culminate with a main competition. The participation in the Szeged 2020 World Cup at the end of September was the flame that encouraged coaches to insist on motivating athletes. If this was cancelled, there would have been no purpose in prolongating our training schedule.

The Red Torpedoes knew how to deal with the setbacks that the pandemic showed us and they got to the end of the training process with a very good performance level that allowed them to achieve more than good results at the Szeged World Cup. Congratulations, guys!
