TOKYO (Reuters) - For hockey players the Olympics are the ultimate stage at which they can showcase their skills in the hope of transferring to a club in a competitive league, such as those in Europe.

But the coronavirus pandemic has caused logistical hurdles due to travel restrictions and put pressure on club budgets which make it harder for players to move after the 14-day Tokyo Olympics hockey tournament finishes on Friday.

The 19-year-old forward's brother, Dayaan, who is 22 and also plays as an attacker, also caught the eye of many in South Africa's group stage games. South Africa is ranked 12th in the world rankings. Segawa is hoping to play at a club in the competitive Dutch league or another European competition such as Belgium or Spain to get a chance to develop her hockey skills and style.
