“It feels like I’m back in high school. There weren’t many competitions during high school, so we only competed once every two-three months. I can now spend more time getting ready for a tournament, instead of competing every two-three weeks. For me this is definitely a time to rest and recharge,” said the Chinese Taipei star.
Chou prefers to look at the bright side of not having to travel and compete, particularly with regard to the Olympics being postponed by a year.
“It’s good because it gives me more time to prepare. Initially I had three months or so to prepare, now I have another year. This coming year is also a good opportunity for me to spend more time on scientific training. A good time to work on my balance and stability. I can work on a lot more other than power and speed. So, I’ll make full use of this opportunity to get ready.”
