While some elite athletes have been struggling to find ways of staying fit while confined to their homes, the 33-year-old former world record holder has taken full advantage of the jumping set-up at his home in central France. “Day 20,” he wrote above the video, which was accompanied by his own commentary. “Everything is under control!
