As a Japanese athlete, and one of the host nation’s hopes for Olympic glory, the postponement of Tokyo 2020 came as a big shock to Masaru Yamada – particularly as he had recently won gold at the FIE Budapest Epée Grand Prix. However, as the world no.2 tells the FIE, he has used the time off to recover from a back injury and enjoy becoming a father, while also focusing his efforts on delivering a performance that will help lift Japanese spirits next year.
