LuchaFIT, the ultimate source for female wrestling, has launched a new online series featuring personal stories about how the wrestling community has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
These unique and interesting stories, directly from those who have been impacted, are being posted twice a week in LuchaFIT's new COVID-19 Special Section.
The first story comes from USA Wrestling Assistant National Women's Coaches Clarissa Chun and Jessica Medina in an entry entitled "Six Feet Apart: Clarissa Chun and Jessica Medina." It was posted today.
Users can read a transcript of what Chun and Medina shared through the story, and also listen to an audio version of the story in which they are featured.

LuchaFIT explains the reason for this new adventure:
Inspired by the athlete articles displayed by The Player’s Tribune known as “The Iso,” LuchaFIT was spirited to create our own, unique version of experiences while sheltering at home. The desire is to provide insight on how wrestling communities around the world have been impacted by coronavirus. From athletes to coaches, individuals to organizations, everyone has a story to tell about their experiences.
In our new norm where we are six feet apart, the wrestling world will need to bridge the gap through community and creativity. It’s unknown how and when the sport of wrestling will resume practices and competition, or how this time impacts the future of wrestling. For all the athletes who held aspirations of competing this year in their respective seasons, the journey may have changed, but the mission lives on.
The wrestling community is invited to visit regularly to experience the new entries and hear the amazing stories of those featured in the series.
