Despite the weather challenges, the athletes remain focused and determined to give their best performances. They understand that they need to adapt to changing conditions and be ready for anything that comes their way.

The cancellation of the qualification round has caused some concern among athletes who were hoping to advance through this stage. However, they are now confident that they can still perform well in the semi-final round and secure their spot in the final round.

Overall, it is clear that these athletes are committed to giving their best performances regardless of what challenges come their way. They understand that success is not just about skill but also about mental toughness and adaptability.
