Dry swimming, balcony rowing: How athletes are training in lockdown

Lockdown or not, not training is never an option for athletes. Even as global sport has come to a shuddering halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sportspersons continue to improvise their fitness and practice routines despite all odds.

Here are some examples -- in pictures -- of how athletes are training in creative ways:

Swimming on land

Row, row, row your boat.. on the balcony

Rider on the, er, porch

Social distancing, fencing style

Wardrobe mal-function

Driving from home

The cat's out of the..bar

Pulling the strings

Workout with a view

Who doesn't want some paw-fessional training?

Learning to fly

Just. Keep. Going.
