Naomi Osaka Disappointed But Supports Tokyo Olympics Delay

Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka, the poster girl of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, took to social media on Saturday to show her support for the decision to postpone the Games until next year

Osaka, who won the U.S. Open in 2018 and the Australian Open in 2019, was the central character in the video to launch Tokyo 2020’s official motto for the Games, launched last month.

The coronavirus has since spread across the world, however, leading to last week’s decision by the Japanese government and International Olympic Committee to postpone the Games.
