MADRID, 27 (EUROPA PRESS)

Spanish golfer Adriá Arnaus admitted that Jon Rahm, recent winner of the US Open, has been killed by coronavirus as a “hard blow” to face the Tokyo 2020 Games, although he said that he “likes challenges” and that “without a doubt” will try to fight for the medals in the debut of this sport in the Olympic program.

“Jon’s dismissal is a hard blow because we knew he was going to give us many medal options. With today’s situation you never know until the last minute. Hopefully he is well and now Jorge Campillo will come and we will try to do the best possible representation “, he commented at a press conference together with the team leader, José Ignacio Gervás.

Adriá Arnaus pointed out that with Rahm they were going to make a “strong team”. “They are great shoes to fill, but I like challenges and this is very cool to live. It will be a great experience and we are going to look for those medals without a doubt,” he said.

Arnaus explained that in the first contact with the Kasumigaseki golf course he liked the state of the ‘greens’. “I’m really looking forward to starting on Thursday. We come to give everything and aim high, anything that is a medal will be a great result. We will go for gold and compete with the best in the world,” he said.

For his part, José Ignacio Gervás reported that Jorge Campillo has already successfully passed the first two COVID-19 tests and that this Tuesday he will undergo the third before traveling, if the negative is confirmed, in the afternoon, around 6:00 p.m., towards Japan.
