JONATHAN HORNE ENJOYS NICE WEATHER
As the weather is getting warmer in some latitudes, and while some countries are opening the restrictions to movements, athletes are taking the street to make the most of the sunnier days. “It is always nice to train outside and enjoy the sun while doing a great workout,” said World champion Jonathan Horne of Germany.
