The sports organisation is considering the prospect of their athletes having no major international competition ahead of the postponed Tokyo Games in 2021. They're holding a training camp in Hawke's Bay to get a lot of their top athletes together following the covid-19 lockdown. International travel restrictions mean local athletes are facing at least eight months training in New Zealand. Athletics New Zealand will discuss with athletes and coaches what their preparation for the Olympics may look like. "Australia is a big bonus for us hopefully, if we can get an Oceania competition going we'll be pretty right."
