The Gulgong native was disheartened to have her Olympic dream prolonged in 2020 having finally qualified following three previous attempts to join the Australian Table Tennis team.

The British Times newspaper reported in January that the Japanese Government privately concluded that the 2021 Tokyo Olympics are likely to be cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the report was later refuted by Government officials.

At this stage, Bromley said the international event will still go ahead based on official information. And although some drastic COVID-19 measures would be in place, she said it's a small price to pay.

"As far as we are all concerned as athletes, with the facts that have been presented directly to us, the Games have always been 100 per cent going ahead," she said.

"It's never ideal to have all the negative publicity and doubts coming up around the Games, but as far as we've been communicated with from the AOC [Australian Olympic Committee], everything's 100 per cent going as planned.

"From what we've been told, we would have to get a negative COVID test 72 hours prior to flying to Tokyo. Then on arrival, we would also get tested again and then several times throughout the competition, we would essentially be constantly getting tested.

"We would also only be able to enter the Olympic Village five days before our event. Once your event finishes, you would need to leave to go home, there would be no lingering around to support other sports outside of yours."

While the table tennis ace is confident she will be living her Olympic dream in six months time, Michelle doubtful it'll be the same outcome for spectators.

"They've made it very clear that the focus is on the athletes being able to compete, and as far as spectators, they're really holding off until around March to make any calls around that," she said.

"Personally, I feel like that's probably a bit more of a doubt, but as far as the plans for the Games themselves, I've got confidence in everyone that's been working for the last 15 months to make these happen that it will go ahead in some form.

"We just take the news as it comes in officially rather than speculating. But it would be an absolute dream for my family to be able to take part in the excitement of the event and be there live in person.

"But, if it came down to it going ahead with no spectators versus not being able to go ahead at all, then I would definitely choose going in behind closed doors, at least people can tune in on TV."

When asked about her future beyond Tokyo, Michelle was hesitant saying; "it's too early to tell what my plans would be".

Michelle qualified for Tokyo after achieving top ranking in a three-day qualification event in January 2020. The 2020 Olympic Games are scheduled to take place in Tokyo from July 23 to August 8.
