The team has made an incredible effort to transport all this food to Paris, and store it very neatly…. Gaz seems pretty happy with the efforts, and we couldn't agree more.

How was this three years ago? Time flies.

Here's a snapshot of our SDA members doing their thing in Tokyo amid COVID. It's not just about planning out athlete meals, but also preparing them, handing out fluids during a race, naming and organising lunch packs, cutting up hundreds of kilograms of fruit, setting up the food pantry before athletes arrive and more. They do it all! 💛💚
