It is so great to have you on the show today. How are you? I'm good actually.

Why not I'm good? I feel good. I am very excited to dive into our conversation.

But before we do, can you please let the hey girl listeners know who you are and what you do?

Sure, so my name is Isawa Tous. I'm a French olemkin. I've started fencing on seven years years old I'm from a small French island called

Guadalupe and I was about to go to my third Olympic Games in Tokyo. I want to make sure

that we talk about the Olympic Games being moved

around because of COVID-19 and what that means for you as an athlete but also as a

woman who is in the sport and learning how to, and training rather for such a big time in your career.

So how has that been for you to have things shift around and what are you doing during this time of COVID-19 to train and also find new ways to take care of yourself?

Yeah, I think the only thing being postponed, like it brings a lot of uncertainty

for us because we used to have such a routine, we really disciplined athletes, so we used to like train three times a day and right now we can also.

I've been at the beginning a little bit emotional about it and I felt like I was trying to keep the motivation and keep the same rhythm at the beginning and then I just like

slowly kind of let it go and find more serenity and I'm most then about it right now.

I do feel like sports is not the priority because it's a global pandemic
