- Taekwondo fighter says athletes fear missing event
- ‘Everyone is doing every single safety precaution’

Bianca Walkden, the taekwondo fighter who won a bronze medal at the Rio Games in 2016, said the entire squad was determined to take every measure to ensure that years of training did not go to waste because of a positive covid test.
