In two days, the world will see the start of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Albania is expecting to be represented by 9 athletes in numerous disciplines.
Luiza Gega and Izmir Smajlaj in athletics, Briken Calja and Erkand Qerimaj in weightlifting, Matvei Petrov in gymnastics, Manuela Delilaj in shooting, Indrit Cullhaj in judo and Nikol Merizaj and Kledi Kadiu in swimming.
All these athletes have reached a great standard in each of their own disciplines, setting the bar high up for not only a dignifying representation in Japan, but also the possibility to come back with a trophy.
The Olympic Games this year are taking place with a one-year delay due to the pandemic, hence security measures will continue to stay strict in order to keep the spread of the virus at bay.
Meanwhile, Japanese authorities have reported that already, 3 athletes participating in the games have unfortunately been infected with COVID-19.
