COVID-19 travel restrictions could cause some players to miss the opening ceremony and arrive late to training camp
The difficulty is increased by the possibility that some players of Team USA won’t be able to attend the opening ceremony because of COVID-19 travel restrictions. On July 23, just a few days before the baseball tournament kicks off, the opening ceremony is planned. As a result, some players might need to travel to Tokyo separately from the rest of the group.
Despite these obstacles, Team USA is focused on taking home the gold in Tokyo. There are several talented players on the club, including past MLB All-Stars and promising young players. The team’s manager, Mike Scioscia, thinks they are capable of competing at the highest level.
Scioscia underlined the value of collaboration and chemistry in an interview with ESPN. He thinks that how effectively the players can work together and support one another will determine how successful the squad is. He also acknowledged the difficulties COVID-19 presents, but he expressed faith in the team’s ability to overcome them.
Baseball athletes have a unique chance to represent their nation internationally during the Olympic event. Since they were young children, many of the members of Team USA have desired to compete in the Olympics. Here is their time to make that dream come true.
