ICYMI: Arisa Tsubata, a nurse and a boxer, could not qualify for the TokyoOlympics but got a chance to perform at the TokyoOlympics opening ceremony, representing how athletes had to prepare for the Games in isolation

Tsubata emerged from a gritty gym on the outskirts of Tokyo onto the global stage on Friday, when she performed a solitary run on a treadmill at the opening ceremony, representing how athletes had to prepare for the pandemic-hit Games in isolation.

Like many Olympic hopefuls, Tsubata's ambitions were shattered earlier this year when the pandemic caused qualifying events to be cancelled and changed criteria for spots at the Games. Tsubata said she was asked to perform by the organisers in April and her gig was finalised in June after she returned from a championship in Russia.
