Canadian Olympians stuck in isolation are forced to get creative to stay in shape

But Radford and pairs figure skating partner Vanessa James were forced to get creative in trying to stay fit when they were forced to isolate with COVID-19 barely a month before the Beijing Olympics.

"While thinking about your neighbours downstairs," James said, with a laugh. "The visualization, playing the music with the cardio, I think really did help." "We were doing jumps and stuff too, you could tell when it was workout time because the walls were pretty thin," said Sorensen, a two-time world bronze medallist. "It was very rudimentary exercises that we were doing for 10 days ... that speed component is the one thing that was hard to kind of replicate obviously in a 10 foot-by-10-foot dormitory.

McGregor, a two-time Paralympic medallist, got sick around Dec. 23 while he and his girlfriend were staying with her parents. "Where it gets really challenging … is sports specificity," said Stellingwerff. "So if you test positive, and you're a pro cyclist, and you have an indoor trainer set up, you can do a pretty good job training really well.

It's 5 days, it's not like they're stuck on a space shuttle.
