\nMedill Reports<\/em><\/p>\n

Kamali Thompson, a Team USA saber fencer training for the 2020 Olympics, woke up Thursday morning to 30 missed messages. Her friends and family in the U.S. were calling, urging her to cut her training trip short and return home from Paris immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily for me, I was able to switch my flight really quickly without any problems at all,\u201d said Thompson, who arrived in New York City Thursday night, just ahead of President Trump\u2019s new travel restrictions on flights from Europe to the United States that came into effect March 13 at 11:59 p.m. EST. \u201cBut if I hadn\u2019t left that day, I know I probably would\u2019ve been stranded in France for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ban applies only to non-U.S. citizens who in the past two weeks have visited one of the 26 countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. But Trump\u2019s Wednesday night announcement alarmed U.S. fencers and coaches who are in the Olympic qualification process.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After Friday night, citizens who have traveled to specified European countries will still be allowed to enter the U.S., but the process could be extremely complicated.<\/p>\n

In his Friday afternoon press conference, where he declared a national emergency, Trump, specified that U.S. citizens who are entering the country after a visit to one of the specified European countries will be asked to self-quarantine for 14 days and be \u201csubject to extra screening.\u201d Athletes said they\u2019re unsure what this means.<\/p>\n

For most elite fencers, an Olympic training schedule involves five days a week of practices and a rigorous strength and conditioning regimen. Throughout the qualification process, athletes will often travel to Europe for training camps and competitions. For athletes who are on a strict schedule to be in peak condition for qualifiers and the Olympic games, a 14-day self-quarantine could be devastating.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Olympic qualifiers scheduled to be happening, taking two weeks off completely is definitely not ideal,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cIt can be detrimental to your chances of making the Olympic team. We want to be in the best shape physically and mentally, and it doesn\u2019t feel like you can have that if you are not doing anything for two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day after Trump\u2019s announcement regarding the travel ban, the International Fencing Federation said it would be canceling or postponing numerous Olympic qualifiers as overwhelming numbers of athletes are affected by COVID-19 induced flight cancellations, mandatory quarantines and travel restrictions.<\/p>\n

According to U.S.A. Fencing\u2019s Olympic qualification criteria, following the one-year process that ends in April 2020, on each category, \u201cthe top 3 athletes on the senior national team point standings will qualify for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Fencing Team with the No. 4 athlete earning a position as the replacement athlete for the team event only.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thompson, 28, who has spent the last four years pursuing her dream to become an Olympian, is ranked fourth in the women\u2019s saber U.S. Olympic qualification list.<\/p>\n

Right behind Thompson is Francesca Russo, 24, who after graduating from Notre Dame in 2018 committed to training for the Olympics full time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are just a lot of emotions right now,\u201d Russo said. \u201cThis is very nerve-wracking because I\u2019m in a position where I absolutely need more competitions. They\u2019re so important for me to push myself up in the ranking. If they decide to cut the Olympic qualification short right here, I would be devastated because I could have gone to one more competition, gotten a really good result and moved up to fourth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Russo, Jonah Shainberg, 24, has been training full-time for the past two years. He is ranked fifth in the men\u2019s saber category.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, this is very unfortunate,\u201d said Shainberg, who trains in New York City. \u201cBut, whether I get to compete in one more tournament or three, I\u2019m just going to give it my best. I\u2019m trying my best not to freak out about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s easier said than done. \u201cIt\u2019s hard,\u201d said Russo, who was Shainberg\u2019s teammate in college. \u201cBecause, there\u2019s this dream that you\u2019ve been working toward for so long and all of a sudden, it\u2019s sort of shattered, but you\u2019re not sure completely.\u201d<\/p>\n

The uncertainty around the rest of the fencing season is stressful even for athletes who are closer to securing a spot for Tokyo, compared to Russo and Shainberg.<\/p>\n

Jackie Dubrovich, a foil fencer, woke up to a phone call on Thursday at 4:30 a.m. Her last scheduled qualification event, which was supposed to take place this weekend in Anaheim, California, was canceled due to the European travel ban.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s pretty anxiety-inducing,\u201d said Dubrovich, 25, who is ranked second in the women\u2019s foil category. \u201cEspecially, because this was going to be, hopefully, the tournament that I was going to find out that I was officially on the Olympic team. So, to indefinitely postpone the process and be in this waiting period is nerve-wracking, especially because U.S. Fencing does not yet know what will happen next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite all the anxiety and uncertainties, athletes are trying to stay focused on qualifying for the Olympics in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, it comes down to who is going to be the calmest through this storm,\u201d Shainberg said. \u201cWho is going to tune everything out and keep doing what they need to be doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of athletes talk about the grind,\u201d Russo said. \u201cWe all feel it. But this, in my opinion, is the ultimate grind, physically and mentally. I just need to keep doing what I\u2019ve been doing and keep that grind mentality because if I stop I\u2019ve given up all hope. So, I\u2019m going to keep working hard \u2018til there\u2019s absolutely no chance for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a common refrain. \u201cWhat choice do I have?\u201d said epee fencer Isis Washington, 26. \u201cThis is just one of those situations I can\u2019t control, so I can\u2019t stress out about it. I\u2019ve been doing quite well this whole season. I\u2019ve been fencing well. So, I\u2019ll stay ready. I believe that the FIE and U.S Fencing will try and give everybody the best opportunity to qualify.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement emailed to the fencing community, U.S.A Fencing said it is gathering more information on how to deal with the five-week postponement of international events, but its top priority is the safety and well-being of all athletes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings are closing day-by-day,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cGyms in New York are closing down as well. I need to sit down and come up with a plan that\u2019s best for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Thompson, Fencer\u2019s Club, where she and Washington train in New York City, said it is shutting down and allowing only Olympic hopefuls to train.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever qualifies to the Olympic team, whether it\u2019s me or my competitors, know that we went through extreme adversity to get there,\u201d Shainberg said. \u201cWhoever it may be, they have earned it. No one decides to train for the Olympics and deal with a pandemic at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n
